So, things at work have been pretty awful. I have never sturggled so much with anything in my life. I have no control over the boys and girls in my classroom. And, I mean none. I have children who are literally running around and jumping off things. I'm so afraid that someone is going to get hurt. I've never been so close to quitting something either. A HUGE part of me just wants to forget this whole experience and walk away but a small part of me says not to, becuse in the long run, that could really hurt me. I don't want to be a quitter, but I can't continue to be this unhappy in such a major area of my life.
I am a teacher.. I want to be a great teacher.. I am just not sure how to do it in this position. I have never been so unhappy with something before.
It is time for me to take back control of my class... only, I'm still struggling with how to do that.
I didn't go to work today. It's the first time that I've called in (other than the time I was out when my uncle passed away), and I didn't even do that right. I am very unsure of what my principal thinks of me... and I'm sure today didn't help at all.
Changes need to be made and tomorrow is the day. I want to have a happy class filled with happy children and happy teachers. Tomorrow is a new day, and I am going to pray that it's the start of some big changes... by taking little steps at a time.
Wow... I started writing this about 4, and completely got sidetracked.. lol It's now 10:30. I am feeling soooo much better after having the day off. I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow and start making things better.
