Blurry Teacher

Keeping up without falling apart. Also, I’m a a Chicana, English teacher!

[tereeque]

So as a first year English teacher during a pandemic, my heart reassures me but my body is tired. My love for my students is what keeps me going, but my hunger to help my students succeed can not be satisfied.

There’s so many obstacles in the way right now.

Distractions are behind those faces trying to learn and make their families proud.

However, there’s that glimmer of hope in my kids’ eyes.

Lighting up as they see dozens of faces at one time across their favorite devices: computers.

Before the pandemic, technology was a great engagement tool. Maybe there will be something great that comes out from all this.

My scholars are the future and all my bets are on them.

Omg. Anxiety up the ROOF! Must remember to exercise and stop getting mad at myself. It’s hard to find words to explain your thoughts and sometimes it takes some time...

Dude, we’re not going to live this huge mistake down, not anytime soon at least. Fuck the US, I’m ready to move to New Zealand.

I love being able to call myself a teacher.

I love being a person who empathizes with others.

I love being a caregiver even though it is hard sometimes.

It’s funny to say I don’t know what I would do if I weren’t helping others. Maybe that’s why staying home 24/7 makes me feel sad.

Yet, there’s some people who have so many other things on their minds.

Some people who care, don’t care, or are in the middle of caring or not caring.

Some of these people, I’ve met.

I will always have a spot for people who have lived besides me.

I never want to make someone feel like I left them behind.

And I love being able to forgive and let live.

Thank you.

Once you stop trying to entertain this imaginary audience and start living for yourself things should get a bit better

fun story I first became obsessed with the harry potter series and hermione in particular in yr 3 of primary school and I decided I wanted to be like hermione in every way so I started reading *lots* and working super hard in school, got a reputation for bookishness and being the smart kid that I kept up into high school and lol here I am graduating in a few weeks from Cambridge all bc I adored this clever bookworm in a children’s book series and absorbed her into my personality as a child like ???

basically long story short female role models in kids media are EVERYTHING

When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me.’

Carl Rogers (via fyp-psychology)

The funny thing about introverts is once they feel comfortable with you, they can be the funniest, most enjoyable people to be around. It’s like a secret they feel comfortable sharing with you. Except the secret is their personality.
