I am a Survivor!!!

So I survived my first week of teacher 7-12th graders minus the 8th graders because I don't teach them til the next half of the year but you get the idea! Well to start off I just want you to know that teachers are definately under paid and over worked that is a very true statement it is a fact indeed not by any means a matter of opinion. But all the same I had a great week. It started off a little rocky but by the end I made it back on top or shall I say gradually working my way on an upward slope. It was a very tiring, emotional, stressful, overwhelming, and unorgazined week. But I stayed one step ahead of my kids and had them fooled a long the way so for the most part I think I did a pretty good job. It is a whole different story of teaching high school students vs. middle school. It seems that if the high school students don't care they don't even give you the satisfaction of pretending that they care. So it of course is tough to get them motivated. But they sure are cute even if they are little stinkers! I really do enjoy it granted there is the bad days with the good. That's one thing I have learned the truth of the words that there is oppostition in all things. There is the bad with the good in all things. It is crazy! But if I can survive the first week then hopefully I can survive the rest and it will just get a little easier from here on out. I am excited to get started I do feel that I have a direction now so I just have to go with that and get a lot more prepared and it will all work out! Also for those of you that don't know we found a house. It was the one I mentioned before but it is a big ole' house but we are just going to rent the top part for $400 it is rather exciting! When anyone comes on through you know where you can stay because it has three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I will try to post pictures. Love ya all Lea
