Competent
Everyone always told me, teaching gets easier after your first year. But it didn’t. I figured I was just doomed for a profession that sucked the life out of me and required 60 hours of work each week. But, it seems I’ve turned a corner! The third year is a lot easier!

Balance
I wasn’t hungry for breakfast this morning, so guess what? I didn’t eat it. I just had coffee for breakfast.

I’ve got my lunch packed up…
Today went so well! My kiddos are incredibly sweet, and I can’t wait to get to know them better. We’re off to a great start in the 3rd grade world.
