Keeping the Balance
There are many factors that contribute to you becoming a highly effective teacher.
I could list them here...but...this blog will only focus on ONE.
You MUST "keep the balance" in your life. It is not good to do work, work...and more work!
I am trying to take my own advice...
I recently took a vacation...oh yeah...
-I slept in late...well at least later than 6 a.m.
-I spent the day with my college daughter-lunch, talk and laughter
-I took long walks at the beach, park and rose garden
-I went to the library, museum and street festival
-I started a Zumba dance class and a water aerobics class
-I participated in two community events
-I spent time with my family and friends
Yes, indeed, life is more than going to work everyday.
Take my advice...Keep the Balance...you will be a
happier teacher and a happier person!
