Thoughts From My Day
Tuesday, 3/27.......
Today was a good day. We celebrated Dr. Zornes' birthday in the office today, (even though her birthday was during spring break & we're a little late doing so, oops!). There was food, laughter, and just an overall positive start, middle, & end of the day, (since I basically grazed on the food all day, ha!)
It's fun to celebrate, isn't it? This thought has taken me to a little bit of a sappy place this evening, (which sometimes happens as I get older). Circumstantially-speaking...what day should we NOT celebrate? We have a great school full of fantastic staff members and amazing kids. Not only is our particular school great, we are part of a wonderful school district that puts kids first. We live in an awesome town, where education is supported. These are all facts that I sometimes take for granted, especially after a hard day. I think it is good practice to frequently take a step back and remember. Remember your "why." Remember the good in your life, because it's there. Do we all face difficult circumstances? Yes, definitely, & some are particularly challenging--I'm not discounting that. However, I know that every day I get to come to a place where kids are loved, and that, my friends, is a wonderful place to be.
As a school counselor, I would have lessons and conversations with students about their future career choices. I would encourage kids to really dream, because when you are in a "good-fit" career and you love what you do--it doesn't feel like work. Will it be challenging? I hope so. Are your days all unicorns and rainbows? Absolutely not. Is it worth it? YES. 100% YES. I genuinely love public education. I love that I get to do this job every day. This evening, I'm feeling particularly grateful for WCMS.
