in
your own words what is a claim
I always feel like there's a difference between a job
and a career in teaching
and
when I started it was more
work it I enjoy coming
in I enjoy it when
I first started teaching I thought
I would teach everybody to love literature
then I realized
you're not going to love later to the way I do
but I hope the
couple things they learn is work ethic is
at the word 20 years to not give up and
this is the end
there is always something
else there's always
if you see your writing on
this time I encounter students who have
no faith in themselves and what goes through my mind
is you have nine months to
undo this mindset try
to get my students to understand to some degree
to become your best cheerleader because you may
not have the outside sources when push you
unfortunately if
students don't have that support they don't see
the future possibility
they see what's right there in front of them
and it doesn't necessarily have to be there future I'll
come to school all sad
and the stuff we going on at
home but I seen the streets and talk to me in this is like
while she took my mind off whatever
I was sad or mad about
play some type of light of joy into my life like
her teacher
style she's funny and I can make a
joke I enjoy seeing their faces I do don't
let them know that
we're going to label these abilities
to just to make a joke and also
to take a joke and it makes us really feel like a
family talk
down
on you she's going to beat you up she's going to tell
you can get to this point if
you work for but should tell you this is
what you have to do to get to that point everything that's
on that board you going to write down on your paper but
I tell them that learning is
you learn with the mistake and
I hope something else they learn is you have to give
people the opportunity to stop judging and making
judgments about people because you never
know about yourself
you never know what you're capable of
so you can't do it okay let me
try
