For the past 6 months or so I have been very unfocused and distracted when it comes to grad school. I really enjoy the program and feel that that it was designed with me in mind. However, lately the stresses of life seem to be coming more often. I give so much at work that when I get home my mind is like mush. I don't want to think or make another decision!
Sometimes I feel like I'm a hamster in a wheel. I'm running and running, but going no where. Sometimes I feel that my passion for helping young people isn't shared by key people who have the power to important decisions. It is my belief that public school as a whole can do more to help low socio-economic and minority students succeed. I witness first hand daily how cultural incompetence devalues students and decreases their intellectual confidence (that may not be a term, but any who).
This past school year has at times made me question if I am in the right profession. My soul cries for our young people. They are exposed to so many things at earlier ages that I may have never been exposed to. They are having to make adult decisions at home and then come to school and act like a child. That is proving to almost impossible to do. There is so much more I could say, but I will leave it here and expound at a later time.
I will fight the good fight. I will finish the race...STRONG!
