(This picture isn't of me, but rather of another positive young black woman)I made it through my first day as a public school teacher. Amen
I have never been as exhausted, drained, stressed, or thirsty in my life (all that talking causes the scratchiest throat evar!). Then I had to drag my newly minted teacher-self uptown to the Bronx for my first day of grad school. Truly a day of firsts.
But it was a good day. The good Lord saw me through. I got through the papers, passes, difficult to pronounce names. In the words of one of my students -"The thing I look forward most to about school is: Getting ready for the great tomorrow."
