Wednesday was a bad day. I cried. I thought that I would never return to the madness that is DISD. It all escalated out of panic. I had a boy run out of the classroom and down the hall past where I could even see him anymore. My mind raced. I do not have a phone in my room, and how would I get help without leaving my class? Thankfully a friend I had made stopped by right at that time.

My adrenaline was already going though, and I lost it.  I had training Wednesday morning, and apparently the sub that was in my room was AWEFUL! Thursday was better, but I spent most of the day at training. Friday was good, and today was even better. My room is starting to look more like me, and I also get to order $300 worth of stuff for my kiddos!

I definitely have challenging personalities in my class, but it’s only a matter of time before they fall in line. My team is really not that great. I won’t go into details, but I have permission to go down my own path and do what I feel the kids need to get caught up.

I think I’m going to make it. I was talking to the assistant principal at Vega Friday night, and she said, “If you can teach in Dallas, then you can teach anywhere!” Hopefully she will have a spot for me next year!
