Another school year

As with each new school year, I have mixed feelings. I'm always nervous because I never know what the school year will bring and then I have anxiety because I pray that I will be an effective teacher. This year brings about many changes. The new state test STAAR will be tested this school year and it has increased in rigor. Every teacher now is questioning their effectiveness in the classroom. We all hope that our students will gain the critical skills to problem solve. My district also made many changes and we lost four of our excellent teachers. They all got new jobs and I am very excited for their next endeavor, but it is bittersweet. I question myself for not applying for these jobs as well. Was I afraid of failing? Yes. But should that have held me back? No. I feel that I will be a great asset to any position that I am assigned to, so I will have to wait to my next opportunity.

Another year

Today marked the beginning of a new school year. As with each new school year, I have anxieties. There's a new test that students will have to take that has increased in rigor. I ask myself, "Will I be an effective teacher to meet their needs?, Will they learn the content?, Will behavior be an issue?" These are questions I constantly ask myself, but I am up to the challenge. My district made many changes this year and now I question myself if I should have applied for those new positions that they created. I'm torn on my decision, but that has passed. I'm always afraid of rejection, but I feel that I will be a great asset to whatever position

Something New

I am excited to begin a new school year. I recently accepted a position at a another school, and I can't wait to begin another chapter in my life. I was hesitant to leave my current school because I felt as if I deserting someone. Why did I feel this way? Come to find out that I had finally found what I am suppose to do in life and I had become attached to the place that helped me get to this point. I don't know why I felt so bad. I didn't even know who the new students were, so why the hesitation. God has a plan for each one of us and when one door is opened, you have to be prepared to make that step through it. We can't sit back and hesitate on the possibilities of what if. If you are a true believer of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, you know you must follow God's path for your life and I am doing that. After giving my resignation, I was more relieved. It was better for me to do it at the beginning of the school year than during the school year. I know for a fact I would not be able to leave my students. I am a very compassionate person so I couldn't have done it. A lot of times we become complacent in our current locations and don't move when we are suppose to. But anywho, tomorrow is a brand new day and I can't continue looking around wondering what if.

Another Week

Another week has came and gone. What do I have to say about it? Well I can say that I am not as frustrated as I was the last time I logged in. Nothing to much to report here. I started a photography class today and I really excited to start taking pictures. We will be learning how to take all different kinds of pictures like action photos. This will be a great experience. I have always wanted to take a photography class and learn how to develop the film, but my teacher told us that digital is the key now. Everyone uses digital photography now, so there is not a need for the darkrooms anymore. Sad :,(.

A Little Bit Better

Well if you read my last blog, I was a little upset and disappointed. I have decided to search for a few new things for right now. I have a headache and tired of disappointment. But anywho. I had a good weekend. My brother can home for about 18 hours yesterday. For those of you who don't know he is in the military. We took him back to his base and hung out last night and today, so that was pretty cool. We hadn't seen him in some weeks. I hung out with the family and that is always cool. For those of you all reading this, enjoy your week and keep your head up. I will try to do the same.

Confused

Can someone help me please??? If there is a need for teachers why is it so hard to find one. A friend of mine is trying to become a teacher and everywhere she has called, they have already filled their vacancies. I told her I don't understand it either. Why is this process so hard? This gives me a headache. I don't know and don't understand.

Still Frustrated

I tried again on adding links to my page but it brought my whole sidebar all the way down. So I give up for the moment. I won't let this get me. Well today is another day of freedom. I don't know what to do with myself on today besides eat. Anywho, enjoy your day.

Frustrated

I can not get my blog to show LINKS. If someone can help PLEASEEEEEEEEEE. Like I said I have to everything perfect so this is going to bother me for the rest of the night.
