Stay true to self. I am still learning about who I am as a young black woman. Although I have a core of who I am, there is still more to learn. I know that being vulnerable and true to who I am in the classroom will help scholars open up and explore more of who they are as well. One of the things that was said, that triggered me, was having an extra polo in the classroom. So many kids missed opportunities to learn because of that. I know we have an obligation to have structure and order in our classroom but I also have an obligation to have a heart and care about the future of our kids!
