The J Factor

What's your joy? Find it out. Keep it in your mind...all the time...find a way to make it your life.

Re-defining your passion

We just returned from mid-year training.
I definitely was not as open as I could have been throughout our training sessions but this training has been instrumental in forcing me to do some personal reflection since I didn't feel like sharing. I feel like I've been slack on many of the things I'm truly passionate about due to the general apathy around me and my tendency to let my virtues down due to the pressures of other. I realized those are just excuses. I have been SLACK.

That is not a part of me I want to become a character trait. So as of today right now that stops. I will uphold the values and virtue that I hold in my heart. I will achieve the greatness I know is mine and I will make it so that the students who's lives I get the privileged of being a part of do the same. That is a promise.

love my kids...smh

Let me tell you about some of my boys. Let's call them J & W. J was one of the first kids I had a good relationship with...but now he's transferring. I'm happy for him...its at another school that's definitely better. Anyhow...W came to homework help and J called him. He found out W was in the city year room and asked if I was there. He told me his transfer was official, he misses me...then asked when are we going out now that he's not my student. Bwhaha love them. Smh. But they cannot ever get it...no matter how hard they try.

So apparently everyone has to evacuate school at three. That's all we know. Sketch face, right?

My kids got me sick. Today felt like forever. The good news is I realized how much of an impact I'm having on one of my kids :)

bribery or motivation

My kids stay asking me for food. I don't like giving it to them because I want them to feel like they should work on their own. So I made this. I hope it works.

New Year. New Focus.

If at first you don't succeed. Try try again. I'm going to try and use this blog as a journal and write everyday again. Wish me luck...or don't. Either way I'm going to try! Yay!

Happy New Year!
