Live True

For those that don't know me and are reading this blog.... and even for those that DO know me and are reading this........

The two words I lead my life by and that will never be far from my mind are: "Live True".

I do not believe in doing anything you do not feel is in the best interest of yourself. Regardless of how selfish and self-centered that seems..... the only person you can count on in life is yourself. The only person that will NEVER stab you in the back... that will NEVER hurt you (purposefully or otherwise), the only person that will always be there.... is you.

It is the most important thing to keep your opinions of yourself high and your attention to the naysayers.... low.

I live my life like that.

I can honestly say that listening to yourself and not to the negativity of the world is hard. It will always seep in.

I, as a "teacher", feel that it is my place to impart wisdom and self-esteem in my students. I try to do so on a daily basis. I will never be the teacher that hides feelings from my students. I will never hide away at lunch in my classroom hoping that they do not come to me. I have always been the person that my friends come to for their issues...... and I plan to continue to be that person.

I would love to be able to tell my students that life gets easier the older you get... that the problems they face in high school will fade away into a memory logged in their brains as "high school". But it isn't that way is it??

Problems only become older... and more grown up as you age. The meaningless fights of high school and the petty hatred go away.... but the worries of adulthood replace and shadow over those issues.

Sometimes I wish that I could go back to high school when I lived at home and my parents cooked for me and paid for everything and all I had to do was go to school..

... but then I remember that I hated high school.
