It's been a while.Well, I didn't get Ophelia. At first, yeah, I was angry and upset. I felt hurt and cheated, but then, through Christ, I could get over it. The girl that plays Ophelia is incredibly talented and she deserves the part. She will do fantastic.
I miraculously made it to the state drama competition. I'm excited to prove myself worthy to compete at state. I feel like everything that has been going on in my life is just to get a further understanding of my monologue, which would be fine, you know, if it was about love. This is about social work, not the prettiest subject, but it truly is one of the most... Beautiful lines of work.I'm fighting for another job. Apparently my job at the rec center is temporary. I need another job to pay for New York. I'm stoked for that chance to be having a grand adventure.
I turn 18 in less than 6 months. I feel old and unprepared for the rest of forever.
I've been to a dance or two. Sweethearts with Mike Hansen. Sweaters with Max Atwood.
I've been to so many farewells! This last one was Jake's. We all remember him? Good? Good.
Six more weeks till summer. Six more weeks till New York. Six more weeks till the sun is required to shine from dawn to dusk leaving happy sunbeams on our faces.
Choir Tour is in 3 weeks. Basically, 21 days. I'm so stoked. Disney is me. I hope to see my grandmother when we sing at the church. Last year, my grandfather was with her.
My school schedule is set for my Senior Year. I'm ready for that to start. . . and then end, but I plan on enjoying it.
My social group? I still drift. I'm trying to decide what I am willing to sacrifice for the circle of people
I will run in. I don't want to be some warm body around a group of people that exclude me-but never on purpose. I don't really sit with anyone at lunch. The best days are when Mr. Shelley leaves his door open for lunch. All those other days I contemplate sitting in my car, absorbing the heat because it's cold outside
Question: Is a teacher's pride worth more that the success of many students?
your pictures are adorable (you're a perfect snow white), super proud of you for making state, and to answer your question: absolutely not.
ReplyDeletei don't believe you should be an educator if you don't have the ability to swallow your pride. school is not about teachers, it's about students.
