Mountains are Gonna Fall

Tomorrow begins the new school year. I have my first in-service. Summer is now over. I am excited to start the new school year; however, I am nervous. I think that no matter how many years I teach, I will always have those beginning of the year jitters. It is a new group of kids who do not know me or my style. Yet, it is another chance to improve what I do. I am watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and there is a teacher who has cancer. Her students talk about how much of an influence she has on them. I want to be like her. I want to have the drive she has and the influence she has. Here's to you, kids.
