I BLOG TO DIFFER

I think the reason we become teachers is to make a difference in the world. I am writing this after a difficult week.  Just thought I would put my thoughts out there.  Nothing profound . . . only thoughts. 

In so many ways I want to make a difference in my schools and in my students.  In so many ways I want my schools and my students to make a difference in me.  In so many ways I want to be a change agent.  In so many ways I want to make myself open to being changed.  In so many ways I want to be a beacon of light for others to find their way.  In so many ways I want to find a light to follow.  In so many ways I want to see hope in the eyes of those around me.  In so many ways I want others to see the hope in my eyes.  In so many ways I want to welcome the darkness in order to appreciate the light.  In so many ways I want the light to take away the darkness.  In so many ways I want my cake and want to eat it too?  Isn’t that what cake is for?  Why does it have to be so complicated?
