Interning

I am now moving in to my fifth week of interning. I now know the kid’s names pretty well and they are finally acting normal instead of misbehaving when I am there. They have realized that I am a ‘teacher’ too. I barely know these kids, I have no idea about their lives or family not even about their hopes and dreams. But yet I like each one of them and I have a special place in my heart for all of them. I care about them and I desperately want them to succeed. Will I be like this when I have my own class? Will I pick favorites? I hope not, but I have this quality about me that I fall in love with the kids that need my love, with the kids that are ‘different’, with the kids that don’t quite fit in, with the ones that need me. Will this be helpful within my classroom? I hope so because I want this care and compassion to help them and give them a desire to succeed. I know I will fall in love with each of my students but I have tremendous concern that I will fall more in love with the ‘different’ kids but I hope that the other ‘not different’ students can see the benefits of this.

Password and Password Plus

Why didn’t i start this years ago! Why didn’t I make all of my passwords and log-in names the same? Why was I so stupid? I remember saying years ago when I first started the password game, “hmmmm, I probably don’t want to make my passwords all the same in case someone figures out my password and then everything is ruined?” How blind of me…haha. Here I am the one that can not figure out my passwords not other people. Starting today every single password I have or have to make will be the same. It is a changing world out there and it starts with me.
