Trust

Trust seems to be a huge factor in the happiness and success of relationships in people’s life. I think it is really important to show people you trust them especially if you see and work with them a lot. If you give a little then most people will prove they are also trustworthy. When working on a team it is important to build that trust and collaborate to make everyone’s job easier. I also think it is important to show students you trust them and allow them the opportunity to play out that trust and show you what they can do. I think people are inspired when you show them you trust them. They want to show you they are good also. As I look back on many times I have been worried I noticed the Universe has made things ok. I think I need to trust the Universe a little more because I tend to worry a lot more than I probably should because usually things tend to work out for the best, even if I can’t see it right away.

Triumphs and Troubles

Triumph: This past week one of my student's parents nominated me for a teacher award. It was really nice to hear how appreciated I was to her. She is a parent that hasn't had the best relationship with the school before but we connected early in the year and gained trust. Her daughter has a lot of trouble in school so since she has made a good connection she has been very supportive when it comes to dealing with behavior issues.



Trouble: This past week I was very sick. I had to miss two days. I feel like I have been gone a lot, mostly for trainings this year. It has been hard to be gone because I know my students don't get a whole lot out of a day when I am gone.
