First Full Week

Next week officially starts the first week of school. I am so nervous. I have a challenging group of kids. Already, one has tried to get many others in trouble and has taken an ounce of control of the class. I got it back, but I know it will be a constant struggle. I am afraid I will not do these children justice. Then again, I remember, God put me here. There is a reason. I just pray my decisions are always what is best for these kids and that I have the strength to do that. I just do not understand why some parents allow their children to act in certain ways. I know children have minds of their own, but YOU are the parent. If you acted like it, my job would be so much easier.
