Today, I am feeling a little overwhelmed. There are so many things that I MUST accomplish today that I do not even know where to begin. Not only is the house a COMPLETE mess, dishes piled up, hairballs rolling like tumbleweeds across our floors, laundry all over the place, bathrooms need a serious scrubbing and the dogs need to play AND gt baths today BUT to add to the list I have an even longer list of things I need to get on top of for work. I have calendars to make, events to plan, communicate and execute as well as check in on my daily biz-is it good or is it bad and what am I going to do to fix/change it. We have make up artists coming to the store tomorrow and is their spot clear and free for them to come in and setup? What is even worse is that I will bee out of the store for 3 days (today being a "day off") but I will be making an unscheduled visit to make sure everyone is clued in to what is happening. Along with houe and work stuff I am still in the process of changing careers and preparing for tests, and looking for the right school that I want to teach at. Could I really have one more thing on my plate for today? Actually it seems more like a platter today. Well, I guess I should quite my moaning and gt to working. I know I can do it all and tonight I will just finish the day saying, "wow, what a day." I am off to start my busy day.......(I am just glad I don't have kids to throw in to the mix yet.)

best teachers
Today was my first "alternative certification program" class for teaching and I found it quite helpful, informative and inspiring. Mostly the instructors just went over what the certification process will be like and what to expect as a first year teacher. Hopefully I will get through the class and tests quickly and land a job in 3 or 4th grade and begin to make my mark in the lives of young ones.
One thing that the instructor had us do was think about our best teachers we have had over the years and list out the qualities of why we thought they were the best. I immediately thought of a few teachers that had positively impacted my life but the one that had the biggest impact would be coach rob.
Coach Rob was my track coach who I never actually had in a classroom but I regard as the "teacher" that had the biggest impact on my life. He taught me a sense of discipline on the field, the act of being a good sport and respecting not only my teammates but my opponents and officials. He called me out when I was wrong and pushed me beyond my limits to make me stronger, faster and smarter. He always stayed late when we wanted to practice after school and helped me find a sport that I will forever love as long as I am alive. He also watched out for me, helping me find a good university, putting in his "2 cents" on which would best serve my needs, for which I will forever be grateful for. He was always willing and able and never said he didn't have time for me or the team. Thanks coach rob for your compassion, drive, love and support you gave me and you put into your job! I know I am not the only one you have impacted and I hope to be as inspirational to others as you were to me.
I certainly had many more positive influences growing up in the education system which is probably why I want to teach now and I can only hope that I can become a teacher that has such a passion for what I do that I may positively influence the lives of young ones. Here's to the best teachers we have had and the impacts they have had on our own lives.
