But I would like to share what I've been up to for the past year and a half. I have gone back to school - Hamline University - and am in the process of getting my principal's license. I'm getting close to finishing, but in the meantime I am keeping 12-15 hour days trying to get everything done.
I spend one night a week in actual class, but two days a week I'm working on my field experience hours. At a middle school. I spend my evenings with the "Minds in the Middle" kids. My main tasks are teacher support and student discipline. These are the phrases I say most often;
"Do you think that was a good choice?"
" What could you have done differently?"
"Yes, I understand you didn't get your meds today - what are some coping skills we can use
instead of hitting our neighbor?"
I'm down to one class, 2 portfolio sessions and the rest of my field hours. I'm pretty proud of getting through this. But I couldn't have done it without all the help from friends and family. Letting dogs out, hanging with Ella, getting Ella to dance - what amazing people I have in my life. THANKS GUYS!
