teachersintiaras:

Find the one thing that always makes you smile. Save pictures drawn of you and notes and poems. Save encouraging notes or emails from parents and students. Then, whenever you have a bad day or feel like it isn’t worth it, pull those things out. Read them over and over if you have to! I keep this picture that one of my sweet girls wrote on a whiteboard during free time.

(Sorry for all the markings. Didn’t want to post my name or hers on the Internet!)

I’m just sayin…

Instead of “Teaching” on the left chart, it should say “Ruining America.” I have no corrections for the right chart.

World-shaker is blowing my mind today. I kind of want to frame this.

world-shaker:

Life experience.

The large circle represents our relative life experiences. Mine is larger because I am older and have experienced a lot in my lifetime. The blue circle represents a negative event. Assume we both experienced that event, whatever the nature. Notice that the event circle is the same size for each of us, but also notice what percentage of the area it occupies in our relative life experiences circle. It seems much larger to you because it is a bigger chunk of your experience. I am not diminishing the important of that event. I just have a different perspective on it. I am trying to tell you that something that hurts so bad to you now and seems like it always will in the future, will one day be part of your past and not as significant as it seems now. I know it is hard to believe, but it is true.

Absolutely love this. Keep life in perspective. Truth.
