Field Day Breakfast

As I sit in a staff meeting, I can't help but think about this weekend... Yeah it's only Tuesday but I'm am stressing, losing sleep and racking my brain about this weekend. Now what the heck is this weekend? That would be Chico State Field Day!

For me and my kids, the first weekend of March is truly the kick off to the field day season. As an Ag teacher, it is the most aggravating, amazing, stressful, awesome ball of craziness. I absolutely LOVE field days!!! They are frickin awesome! Students learn new things, meet new people and really make an effort to be a winner. For me it is a reunion of Ag teachers who get together and chat (or complain occasionally) about how the year is going. It also serves as a source of rejuvenation and inspiration to get through the rest of the school year. To say I love these people, does not do enough justice.
One of my breakfast buddies! This weekend we will be working mostly on Master's homework-- yuck!
 
About this time each year, I am typically frazzled. Just because there are literally a million things going on and I'm getting pulled in a million directions. Simply, getting coffee and taking a couple hours on Saturday field days to catch up is AMAZING! It does wonders for the psyche and gives me hope to be effective and awesome in the classroom for the duration of the year.

Most of the people I spend these Saturday mornings with are those who I went through the credential program with. Others are those I met along the way. They are amazingly talented people, who make me want to be a better teacher, more successful coach and just flat good.
Perception of success lies within each of us... Believe you can and you will!
