Year 13

I finished my 13th year of teaching today. Not my best year professionally or personally. I struggled with my class and working with the adults. I just didn't feel like I was appreciated at all.

Personally, Jake worked a lot! I was on my own with the kids 3 nights a week. I didn't workout much, gained weight and ate poorly. There is so much pressure to be thin, fit, and healthy and that added a lot of stress to my life. 

I'm hoping that I have the summer to reflect and rejuvenate! I want to focus on the kids in my class next year and that's it! What will make them grow and feel great about learning! I'm looking forward to taking the next few weeks to step away from school and the people who work there. I need to decompress and focus on my family.
