Today I went to a funeral. My friends mom passed away. It happened so fast. My mood was switching from sad to being appreciative of life. ]]> 2021-09-15 04:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1741633107 CatlynValle https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1743696315 "I am strong and determined". Amongst all the things that have been thrown my way starting last week, I have finally heard some good news. The news followed through for all the hard work and dedication I put into reaching the requirements of the job description and finally receiving a "I got the job" call.

On days like today, where there seems to be no stopping for breaks, thinking, or relaxing, I often have to remind myself that I am capable, strong, and can do all things. It just takes a little longer and lots of patience. :)]]> 2021-09-15 19:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1743841800 marielcastillo3 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1744140932 "I am allowed to make mistakes." This affirmation speaks to me today because I have been feeling very overwhelmed with lots of things going on in my life. I have to remind myself that I have to put myself first at times and do the best I can. ]]> 2021-09-15 23:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1744140932 rebekahgonzales https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1744368476 "I can do hard things." The past couple of weeks I have been working 1:1 with students with very challenging behaviors. I have been so exhausted and overwhelmed, but have been taking it one day at a time. I have had a handful of teachers tell me "I'm surprised you didn't call in sick!" when I show up to work after these challenging days. Which makes me proud that I am able to take a breathe and wash away all of the anxiety from the day prior in order to be my best self for these students. ]]> 2021-09-16 01:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1744368476 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1744522864 The affirmation I chose is: "I am allowed to make mistakes." Today was a bit tough; the two classes I worked with both had high energy and intense behaviors, and I was very reflective and hard on myself for how I handled it (or how I could've handled it). I think I did well, but I know I could've done better. However, I am allowed to make mistakes :)

Boy has it been a rough week for me. I have been very stressed between homework assignments and working. I feel like I have not been able to stop the last few weeks so I felt not okay during the last week. I have cried a lot, which I feel like I always do when I feel a tiny bit of stress. I decided to take a few days off of work, focus on myself, and work on school work. As of today, I am feeling way better than how I did two days ago. It is the little things that can simply change my perspective on everything. ]]> 2021-09-16 20:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1746899112 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1747278408 "Make everyday a GOOD day!"
With taking 4 classes working a full time job and being a single father daily schedules can get a bit hectic and overwhelming. However, I think reminding myself to make everyday a good day is important because it reminds me to just go with the flow and get things done one thing at a time because that is all you can do. Also reminds me to not let the little things trip me up and like I said just go with it cause at the end of the day thats all you can do. ]]> 2021-09-17 00:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1747278408 alexisreyes21 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1747748033 "I can do anything I put my mind to." I just started a healthy kick and with my hectic work schedule and personal life, I am trying to wake up at 4:30 every day to get to the gym by 5:15. I went yesterday morning and felt so proud of myself! ]]> 2021-09-17 03:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1747748033 christinepina https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1747831463 "It's okay to not be okay"

This one has always spoken to me because it reminds me that I am allowed to feel what I feel and that's okay. I have been stressed out, but I feel like it's finally starting to level out and give me some balance, just in time for it to all be thrown off again (by whatever else life throws at me). I just have to remember that however I feel is okay, and this affirmation is a great reminder for me.]]> 2021-09-17 04:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1747831463 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1749849879 "It's okay to not be okay"
This quote really stood out to me because lately I have been having a tough time handling school work and home life. I am usually able to handle everything so this feeling of not being okay is new to me. I am trying to be okay with my current state and move forward but also acknowledge that it is okay to not be okay.]]> 2021-09-18 01:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1749849879 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1750982621 "It doesn't have to be perfect to be worthy". My daughter was sick this week and I was on the road two days. Learning to be flexible with my homework time is a challenge for me. I get upset if I can't start and finish an assignment in one sitting. But learning how to self-manage those thoughts coincides with the book we're reading. My work is still worthy even if the path to get there didn't look like I wanted it to. ]]> 2021-09-18 23:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1750982621 sara_can https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1751311931 "I strive for progress, not perfection" 
I felt this resonated with me because I am always trying to do everything perfect. However, with time and growing up I have realized that it takes patience to grow and become a stronger person. That is progress to me. I feel this is important to emphasize inside my future classroom because at a young age children start to place pressure on themselves and I want them to realize its ok to do things a little differently than others. ]]> 2021-09-19 07:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1751311931 amanda_jimenez2 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1752919218 "I am strong and determined." This affirmation stuck out to me the most. With taking on the role of being a first time teacher, to a wonderful class of first graders this affirmation speaks volume for me! Everyday I am learning something new. I am determined to give it my all, learn, make mistakes, don't quit, keep going. I started this teaching journey for a reason. I am strong and determined to finish school and give my job as a teacher my all! :)]]> 2021-09-20 04:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1752919218 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1753187591 "This is only the beginning"
The Spring semester came and went in the blink of an eye. Summer went by even faster. Fall is here, fresh and ready for new beginnings. I welcome Fall with open arms after a rough Summer. Having my outdated Hardrive crash in the final stretches of a semester was emotionally draining.  I think I am finally finding my stride with online or distance learning again. I am excited to start a new semester with a new Hardrive on my computer.]]> 2021-09-20 07:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1753187591 https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1788743337 2021-10-04 06:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/myala/i56wu5cm3kj5y4td/wish/1788743337
