Since we are celebrating Thanksgiving, I want to thank you all for being supportive and our instructors for direction. It is easy to focus on the negative, but in the end I find myself drained if that is all I see. Tracy said earlier this year, that he decided to focus on the positive. He made a conscious decision to stay constructive. His words have been motivating to me. I have tried, instead of complaining, as much, to focus is on the positive. There are still some days when one person can do or say something and my cup, that is already full, will completely run over. But, by deciding even before walking into the classroom that this is a great day no matter what, has been refreshing.
So, I am thankful for this opportunity to teach about health care, which I love. The students have pushed me completely out of my comfort zone, causing me to really think about how I approach the material to deliver it to them. Finally, to do this job you must have support. It can be very overwhelming at times,that's why this program has been a key to me staying in the classroom. Again, thanks to everyone.
I feel your pain. However, at the beginning of the school day after the Pledge, there is a monment of silence. I take this opportunity to set the tone for my day. I ask for patience and understanding, for God knows that my students can be very trying at times. I also pray that I will be effective in my teaching and that I make an impact in my students' life during the lesson for that day. I am thankful for the opportunity to share my healthcare knowledge to the students and anyone willing to listen. I get encouraged when I'm evaluated by someone from administration and they give positive feedback on my classroom management or how I keep the students engaged. I agree that our cups are full and that it runs over quite often, but have faith that it may not get better but that it will become managable.
