Year 3 as an Educator!

What a difference 2 years makes. This is the first day of pre-planning. It feels weird. This time last year I had Teach Gwinnett on my shoulders. But I had know idea I was walking into a buzz saw. A constant barrage of emails, expectations, encouragement, and sleepy nights. But again I had no idea.

This year....not so much. There were two classes that I had to take being apart of the program and both of them are online. I'm about halfway through one this summer and the other starts in the Fall. I feel anxious because it's a new school year. I feel relaxed because I have two years under my belt. I feel excited about what God has in store for me in my classroom and for my family. I'm concerned about how to manage my classroom as this still is on my heart as a big challenge. I'm looking forward to the future (6 -8 months from now) and what that means for me as an educator. I'm constantly thinking about what I can do to further our financial position. I'm not looking forward to the BS from the bitter beer face teachers. We've all got them in our schools. 

Be the marigold. Don't be a walnut tree. 

Be the Marigold!

As a teacher I am...

A big brother.

A father figure. 

A motivator. 

An encourager. 

A facilitator of critical thinking, reasoninng, and argumentation and less as a dispenser of knowledge.

I needed this reminder today. So often as a man I will hold on to ALL of the pressures and responsibilities I feel and not let them out. That’s a dangerous slope to be on. #disciple #strongertogether @hanginwithmrlp #teacherlife #teacher #teachersofinstagram #adulting #parents #parenting #parenthood

In the process of sharpening a knife or sword, there is a great amount of care and intention that goes into making sure the right parts of the metals intersect for the sharpening to occur. That is how being present works in our interactions with other people. #wisdom #proverbs27 #disciple #bepresent #goodmorning #notextneck
