Turn it Around Tuesday

Okay so the last two weeks I have been in a funk... Ya know, nothing goes right, wanna strangle people (just kidding) and just low on myself, my abilities and my intelligence. 

Well enough of that sorry crap! Last week I sat at our Sectional FFA Officer screening in Santa Rosa with two kids who were determined to win. They both previously ran for Regional Office and were not slated. It's tough to put yourself out there like that and have your peers recognize your abilities as leaders. It's even more difficult to not be slated but then still try to run for sectional office. These kids have guts! I was so impressed with both of them, not because they actually won (cough, secretary, cough and reporter), but because of their dedication to something bigger than themselves. 

What a concept for a kid? Be something, love something, be dedicated to something BIG. Something that will come to fruition many years down the road. The idea of leadership and communication skills that they will carry to endless, meetings, parties, jobs, classrooms, etc. 

They reminded me of something last week... Be patient. Everything in time. When it's meant to be, it will. Be grateful for the opportunity. 

I have had an extremely successful year! And I'm very proud of the progress I've made this year from being in a rut (last year),to practically being a new teacher and advisor. I love my career, my kids, my school and the people who inspire me on a daily basis.
