I was chasing a student today, in a suit. We got him to calm down. So I take the jacket off to cool off and one kid goes “Teacher your armpits are wet” 🙂🙂 I didn’t take my suit off for the rest of the day.

If I EVER leave the classroom, it will NEVER be because of the children. Nope. It would be because those in charge don’t understand what’s best for kids.

My father passed away on Tuesday. I’m grateful for the role he played in my life. Sometime along the last 6 years, he stopped being my dad and started being my hype man, coach and motivator. We was friends. He was proud. The most depressing part is that I lost that.

As a teacher, I’ll always be blessed. I be embracing the kids that none of the other teachers want. Them kids come into my room and feel like superstars. That’s a fact.

Pray for me. I care too much and this is hard. I have NO motivation to start this school year. Starting off with virtual learning with students that I don’t know is really hard. I’m an impact teacher. 😕
