I have been reading some of the post and I can honestly say that if you let
someone else influence you and how you feel then you are not in control. I
feel like I'm out in left field most of the time, but I still try my best to be a
positive influence on my students. I think you can always find some good in
anything if you look long enough. I know the economy is bad and people are
worried about jobs and money, but I believe things will improve and that
sometimes we worry just to have something to worry about. As long as I have
a teaching job and I can try and have a positive influence on a student I will
be there for them. I try and focus on the ones I can help and let that be my
reward. I can only pray for the ones that seem lost.
I enjoyed reading your post about thinking positive. I try to say something positive to several students each day. I agree with you about being in control and not letting anyone else influence you. I have to be honest sometime I allow others to influence me but I'm working on it. So many people have negative energy and it becomes contagious. I discovered it's very stressful to be negative. Thanks for your positive comments.
