This is my first post and well I've never done anything like this before. Consider this an online journal for the whole world to see. I feel a bit like Doogie Howser except he only wrote two lines, had a blue screen, and had Vinnie crawl through his bedroom window. Future peeping tom? I think so.
I just watched the movie 7 Pounds and I really enjoyed it. Stories such as that really make you want to make a difference in peoples' lives. The make you want to change the world with kindness and self sacrifice. Not that I'm planning on offing myself with a box jelly anytime soon. Hope I did not give anything away to anyone reading this. But then again, no one will probably ever read this little blurb of mine.
OK back on track. That movie really made me think about the impact that I made as a teacher. I know there were some kids that I helped through some difficult times and there were some kids that I just could not help. The realization that you can't help everybody is heartbreaking at times. However, that will never stop me from trying. I wonder about my ex students. I wonder if they are doing well, and how they are progressing in their lives as they turn into adults. I wonder if anything I taught them throug a single school year has stayed with them, or if I was just another teacher along the way and am now forgotten. I miss teaching. I really want to go back to it, but I can't do that at this point. It's sad to say but what's stopping me from teaching again is a monetary situation. I just can't afford that month between paychecks at this point.
Well that was my little blurb for the day, not because I can't write more but because I am becoming scatter brained and will start writing all sorts of random stuff. Tune in next time, same bat time, same bat channel. Peace and Love to you all.
