I have taught for so long, that I live and breathe teaching and learning. So forgive me if I struggle a bit, stumble around, and trying to find ways not to create greater distances, but new ways to use social media to cut the distances.
I shall teach,
I shall learn,
I shall listen,
I shall see,
I shall use my small teacher voice to call out.
I shall find new ways to say let us learn and grow together,
I shall give my all,
My best, and
Though I may stumble a bit,
I shall not fail our teachers and our children.
Teaching is not my job,
It is my vocation,
And my vocation still calls to me.
I will learn, grow, and teach my way forward through this pandemic,
For I am a public educator.
