I'm leaving:
the insecure teacher I was
the lonely teacher
the teacher who thought maybe she shouldn't be teaching
the teacher who always felt like she shouldn't be asking the questions she was asking...
I'm taking:
A writer (who was always there)
Learner (who I never lost)
friends
hope
writing
1.5 full daybooks
I'm taking the energy and passion for what you do back into all aspects of my life...reader...writer...thinker...spinner...yogic wannabe...jogger. Thank you so much for helping me further my own thinking over the past 12 days. Please keep in touch!!
ReplyDeleteI love how we've all built such a bond that we can be vulnerable about our fears. And I'm so glad that you are able to leave behind the loneliness, self-doubt, and fear.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 1.5 daybooks. I'm considering using a class-wide daybook (on top of personal ones), so that my class can take turns sharing and commemorating a journey...
Simply beautiful!!! You have inspired me in so many ways over the past few weeks. Keep blogging lady!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this, Christin! Your energy in SI was as firmly grounded and as full of possibility as your poem here.
