Today was one of those days as a teacher that you dream about.
Where you don't feel like a fraud. Where you don't wonder why responsible people have entrusted you with the lives of these innocent children. Where everything just clicks. And suddenly you feel like, "Yeah... I got this."
It took almost ten years to get there, but I'm finally here.
That is, until a student fails to turn in that writing assignment on Monday that's already two weeks late.
Or I botch a lesson on Monday
Or a parent castigates me next month for not challenging their child enough.
Because, truth be told, "I got this" is fleeting when you're a teacher.
And so right now, I'm just going to relish in this moment, because I'm sure to screw something up tomorrow.
Just keepin' it real.
