Footprints

A brand new day is opening ahead of me. As I am getting ready to start my first day this school year, I pray for the students and teachers I will work with today. There is a constant reminder that what I say and do will mark, in one way or another, their lives forever. Just like footprints in the sand, my words and actions can stay or be washed away. I choose today to make my footprints last.

Frustrations

I know it's not easy to be a co-teacher, but with the new demands on teachers it makes it even harder to thrive as an educator.

Good thing though that I can make a difference in children's lives. That is the only incentive I foster in my heart to keep me going despite of the daily frustrations and job demands.
