Since that time, I've been a police officer, completed a masters degree in business, and traded stocks for twenty five years. Of all, teaching was the most demanding, and those who stay are those who are committed to improving kids' lives, one inch at a time.<br /><br />God bless you for your willingness to give so much to help the little ones get a leg up on life. God is the only one who truly appreciates what you do, but unfortunately speaks in a whispered voice that you might miss when overwhelmed by life. <br /><br />For me God's voice has the greatest clarity when I am done in, ready to quit, angry and alone. If I can find the will to turn my head toward that whispered tone,for one instant, I feel an infusion of peace and strength, enough to get me through this day, at least.<br /><br />Hope you're able to rest today.Stephen Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510120291862187722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814374756332530237.post-61814137246233989452012-03-22T08:04:16.408-05:002012-03-22T08:04:16.408-05:00When I was in graduate school, I could totally und...When I was in graduate school, I could totally understand the perspective of someone dropping out of college in the senior year. Speech Language Pathology programs are no joke, even at the undergraduate level. So at 5 1/2 years, I felt like I had enough and quitting sounded plausible. But since I had 5 1/2 years in and was paying for it all on my own, I took it one day at a time. Did what was needed for what was next. I made it through. My mom used the "pull yourself up from the boot strap" and did not help. Of course sleep was given up, and that always adds to the negative thought cycle.<br /><br />Sometimes we just have to be a plow and plow through what we don't want to do. <br /><br />The school year is tough. It is grueling. I am support staff, an island, no one in the building who fully understands my discipline. Sometimes I wonder who is there to support me. Why am I always the flexible, supporting one. It is okay to feel tired. But, do enough for what is next. Get through that, check it off of your list. And know that all will get done, all will get done well.The Luedtke Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308696764271755723noreply@blogger.com
