I can’t believe how the summer has flown by! There is one more week and I will have to go back to school. I’M NOT READY! I still have so much to do and not enough time to do it. I seem to say that a lot lately. When am I going to learn to say no? Probably never. I need to focus on all that I’ve accomplished this summer and forget the things I haven’t had time to get to. That isn’t always easy to do. Anyone have suggestions to help me?
This year at school I will be teaching 11th grader English. I’m looking forward to working with the students. I had a few last year in 10th grade English and really enjoyed working with them. I can’t wait to see how they did this summer and see if they grew up some. Often you see that between the 10th and 11th grades. One of the neat things is watching a student grow up from when he enters high school to when he graduates. I love seeing them walk across the stage at graduation, ready to embark on a new phase of their life.
