I work with amazing staff and team member. The scholars can be much but I would take that as long as they keep learning!!1

I am just as stressed as everyone else, but I am learning day by day how to get by. I am continuing to learn and get more comfortable with things in the classroom and in the school.

I love my students and am invested in their well-being.

Being invested can be exhausting! I am tired! I have found that I am not the only tired teacher (of course!) so it is good to have support from other teachers in my circle.

Small victory matters.  Finally got a "problem" student to engage today!  He will still fail the class but at least he is part of the class now.

I am slightly overwhelmed, BUT it is so worth it. Once I get in the swing of things, I think it will get better. I am loving it overall though!

This is truly my dream job.

I realize that veteran educators have feelings of disappointment and resentment because the state of NC has pushed them aside.
I understand those feelings because for the last 2 decades I have struggled to find a job that I enjoyed and could offer a decent wage.
Well, I've found it!
The school system is not perfect, but nothing is perfect.
Of course, I would be over-joyed if my students were more attentive and followed ALL of my instructions to the letter, but that's not life. I enjoy the intense dynamic between teenagers and me, especially those rolling eyes and lip smacks!
Sarcasm aside, working with teenagers keeps me on my toes. If they trust you, they will follow you. Building their trust is the work, along with the lesson planning!
