- What motivated me to begin with?
- What am I struggling with?
What motivated me? It was the idea that I could change the way I teach in a way that would empower students . . . in a way that would acknowledge their authentic voices.
The main struggle is with me–giving in to procrastination, balancing teaching to studenting, and wrestling with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Yup. Those are the main things. With the clock ticking, I’ve made some changes.
- Scheduled time to write every day–appointment with success
- Given myself permission to focus on my stuff and reframing this as necessary to being the best educator I can be
- Scheduled my first counseling appointment to begin speaking a different truth in my head, a positive one
This is how it feels.
