In regards to the group of kiddos  I have this year, I am a really lucky teacher. I have a great group of kids and I forgot how great it is to start with first graders rather than kindergarteners! I don't have to teach them how to walk down the hall or teach them the specifics of my classroom because half of them already know it and the other half is smart enough to figure it out! They make me laugh and smile everyday! 

This takes me back to the time when my principal told me that I was going to switch grades. At the time, I hated the world, hated her and was mad about everything. I didn't want to accept it...but as time went on I got over it and myself and decided to try and make the best of it. Through this whole ordeal I've learned that sometimes when you're forced to do something you don't want to do, that it actually can end up being a great thing for me and for others around me. I need to be better at taking things with stride and thinking about the good things that can come from a decision rather than all the negative. I believe this has helped me become a better person... 😉
