It's been a while since I last posted but I have been super busy with schoolwork, the last few weeks of this semester are crazy!! I can't remember it being like this in my first semester. Anyway. I'm currently reading a book for one of my classes called "Educating Esme". It's AMAZING. It's about a teacher in her first year of teaching and is basically her diary published in book form. Now it got a few bad reviews on Amazon because people think Esme is smug and self-absorbed in her own wonderfulness. To be fair it is her diary with her own thoughts and feelings. Personally, I loved the book! Esme is an amazing writer and her creativity in the classroom truly inspirational. When reading the book I felt like I was right their in the classroom; all the successes, failures and frustrations. Madame Esme (as she likes to be called) pushes her students to their limits and expects excellence from all of them. By the end of the year ALL of her student's have advanced at LEAST one grade level... WOW. If I am half the teacher she is then I will be very happy!
The other thing that has struck me this week is how great the people are that I have in my life right now. I got some unexpected news the other week and people have been really supportive which has blown me away. I am so grateful to have friends like these and I would like to say a really big thank you to Pat and Stella. I really don't know how I will ever repay your kindness <3 Also, to my friend Evie at school who offered to help me even though she doesn't know me all that well... your awesome (she's an angel in disguise I swear!). I am so lucky to have these people in my life!
