After getting locked out of my blogger account and not being able to post as I should due to so many various reasons, I am back and very apologetic to my fellow students and professor for not being caught up with blogging. It seems like so much has been going on and that their has been so much to do in my personal life, professional life, and school life. But I must say that with all that is going on I have remainder optimistic and happy. The reason I say this is because in the past, when things pile up on be or I get behind, I stress or become depressed. But I have stayed determined to not allow myself to get to that point. There has been more than one time that I have wanted to throw a computer through a window since graduate school began so it makes me feel good that I have not gotten to that point with all that has happened.
On another positive note, I have spent time personally reflecting on the growth I have seen in myself and my fellow classmates over the last year and a half and I am so excited to say that it is better than I could have ever imagined. With working with 5 of our classmates it has been great to see the leadership we have taking in our school, how we are able to speak up when needed, and how we have changed on views on what we teacher and how we teach. I have always enjoyed being around my colleagues and thought of them as a part of my school family but now I feel even closer to them. We bring strength to our school and are helping to make our foundation even stronger than it was.

To Blessed to Stress
So I just realized that the blogs I have done at home are not posting as they should so I am once again catching up...
Life has been so good to me lately and although I am had stress try to creep into existence in my life I refuse to let it. I am having the best school year, my health is a whole lot better, and I am making connection with new friends. Although there is a lot on my list of things to do I am doing my best to remember that each thing I complete brings me one step closer to the end of another school year and one step closer to graduating in May (I can't believe it is almost here for us!). I have learned so much over the past year and a half and I am thankful that I have been able to use some in my classroom this year. I truly feel that my school year is going better because of how I have revamped my teaching strategies. I owe this change to my graduate school experience mostly and due to the new confidence I have found in myself. It feels good to walk into school knowing I am reaching students instead of feeling lost. It feels good to know I am growing in my profession as I attend classes every Tuesday and Thursday and it really feels good knowing I am a good teacher! I may stumble at times but I can see that I am reaching students and that is the best feeling in the world.
SO BLESSED!
