“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle”

-Christian Larson

Today is going to suck. There will be a meeting. There will be a conversation with a parent that you weren’t prepared for. There will be a behavioral issue in your class.

Yet, you will continue on.

Today might suck. You might have something on the schedule that you don’t want to do. You might have to stay late. You might have to sub in another class.

Yet, you will continue on. You will give your best to your students.

Today could suck. You are thinking about something that you forgot at home. You own child had a rough morning. You have to take your kids to 3 practices and don’t know how to get it all done- and get them to bed.

Yet, you will continue on. You will give your best to your students and your family.

Today was alright. You overcame some challenges in your class. You were able to keep yourself focused at work even though you had worries about home. You did what you needed to do during meetings both during work hours and after.

You continued on. You stayed present. And you will do it again tomorrow.
