"Not Alone"
I have truly enjoyed reading everyone's blog. I feel like somehow I am standing near everyone of you. I have felt like crying, laughing, and wanting to hug some of you to take away some of the pain. Being a new teacher has had it's challenges, BUT after reading the blogs and sharing classes with all of you in NTI, I have to say, I am "not alone" in my feelings as a new teacher. Sharing and reading everyone's experiences has made this year so much better. I thank the Lord for bringing all of you into my life and helping me grow as a teacher and individual. Teaching so far has been for the most part enjoyable. I have tough challenges ahead but feel certain with NTI I can overcome them. Thanks to Dr. B and Ms. H and J
I love you, Esther! Yes, I feel the same way! We have all bonded and that's a good thing!

I feel the same way. Sometimes the kids are terrible and I wonder why in the world I ever retired and took a teaching job. Other times the kids do things that make me realize that I am making a difference in their lives and am actually helping mold their future.
ReplyDeleteI agree, reading all of these blogs have help me also . You feel like you're a group rather than an individual.It seems you always have a friend that can relate to your concerns in the classroom
ReplyDeleteThanks to you all
