Today is my first pd of the year and I am trying to use wonder, instead of worry to approach the day. It is always stressful to restart, but I know all and I need to remember my strengths and what I plan to accomplish this year. Having new challenges always keeps me working toward excellence and this summer has given me a way of looking at things in a very positive way. I want to command a more rigorous class and use new skills of collaboration to improve the work. There is nothing I feel less than confident about, except, that I always think I have deficits in my abilities, even though I am working very hard at what I know is best for my classes. I will continue to blog, journal and restart my vlog to keep a daily journal of what I am incorporating in my classes and how that relates to my masters' work. These are part of the habits that I hope are permanent now.
