I, Ms. R, am guilty of not blogging in a really long time. Thank you for the push, Mr. G! The biggest reason I haven’t written anything is because student-teaching and classes have been kicking my butt… with a steel toe boot. We’re all busy though, especially this time of year. (I’d just like to add that 70 degree weather in December doesn’t feel right. Boooo global warming. Booooo.)
I’m also guilty of wanting to post but deciding not to. Sometimes I start to feel that its not profound/inspiring/revolutionary enough. I’m very thankful for our readers (hi guys!), but sometimes I do feel the pressure to make every post AWESOME. I don’t know how that happened. Its not like people are saying “Hey, every post you write must change someone’s life.” I gotta throw that mindset out the door. I’m just here to share my adventure, so profound/inspiring/revolutionary or not, that’s what I’ll do

Thanks for putting to words the feelings that I have on a daily basis. I, too, am afraid that my posts have to be so inspiring and so precise, that I freeze and I put it off another day. “Just sharing my journey” is my new tag line. Thanks for not giving up. On the verge of sounding cliche, your post inspired me this morning. Keep sharing your adventures.
Yay Ms. R!
Keep up the good work, all sup teach-ers. I stumbled across your group blog a while ago, possibly from dy/dan. You told so many good stories and shared a lot of insight into the start of a teaching career. Even though I am on the other side of the world (Norway), I can relate to your ups and downs. The school system and practical sides of the teaching job might be different, but the thoughts and problems you encounter are not. I started my 3rd year teaching in August, and as someone commented a while back: it gets better. It gets easier. But it does’nt get any less challenging. By sharing your thoughts, someone else will realize they are not alone with their challenges.
