I don't really know. I had a lot going on in the last week, almost so much that I didn't really have time to notice if I did anything wrong or regretful. I guess one thing I should have done was informed the principal that the students should be moved to the football stadium instead of the same building the gas leak was in. I assume it wasnt my place to take such matters into my own hands, but who knows? I guess I would have also been a little harder on my students, they seemed to have gotten a little soft on me this week. Im sure I could go on and on about what all I could change about last week but whats done is done and the only thing left is consequences to deal with now. The best part about it all is that if I did make mistakes or feel that I should have changed something, I will learn from it.

You're right. I think we do learn more from our "mistakes" than our successes. Maybe we shouldn't call them 'mistakes' since they are really successes in progress. It's all in one's perspective, aye?
ReplyDeleteHi Shane,
ReplyDeleteYes, we learn from our mistakes. I love Jessie's comment! Our mistakes are really successes in progress. I am going to try to always remember that. I tend to beat myself up when I make a mistake. But if I can just focus on that mistake as a "success in progess" then the negative can be turned into a positive.
Thanks Jessie for saying that! Yes, it is all in one's perspective!
