The triangle of mediocracy

I find it best to blog after the weekend when my mind is fresh and my whole blog isn't a complaint because teaching sure can do that to you.

Are you being given taking advantage of but learning lots in the process? Me too.
Are teachers giving you all their lessons but barely citing them? Me too.
Are all you nights spent thinking about school and dreading the sound of the alarm every morning but bubbling with excitement for what the day could hold? Me too.

I want to be the best so I am. And that how I get things done. I chose subject that I'm passionate about over subjects that will help ensure to make money because a life chasing money is a wasted life if you have not lived through what sets your soul of  fire.

As a starting teacher I have found myself always going above and beyond for every lesson. I'll put in 3 sessions of planning for every lesson I have so that when I get to the classroom everyone has learned something. I want my learners to learn , I'm not trying to pass time. I refuse to give anything less than I would expect. This makes life difficult. Do I do work and go sleep or see my friends and sleep? Or do I work and see my friends but then not sleep? .... life has been throwing this challenge at me for the last couple of weeks.

I've really learned the value of time, time wasted is time lost. I use all the time I have to do what have to then what I want to and very little time spent on  what anyone else wants because sleep comes first.

The point I'm trying to make is: Do what you can with what you have because if you don't, only you will suffer.

  1. Time is very important Saskea, you feel like you have to jump through so many hoops just to make it through the day. I really try to give my all in every lessons so those who are interested can have a great lesson, so that the time and effort we pu in is not wasted. Have a great week and keep the balancing act going.
