Being a new teacher is like learning to fly an airplane while building it. It's all about survival. I do not care what school you are in or how much money you make; IT IS HARD!! Year two doesn't magically make things better; experience and self-reflection does. Daily, teachers are fighting this burnt out emotion which is hard to fight. Daily, teachers are trying to encourage young people that are defeated by circumstances by things out of his or her control. Daily, teachers show up and do their job. Please check out how my professionalism and leadership grew and I was truly transformed among this experience.
