far from perfection...

today i connected with my students in a better way than i have ever before. it was awesome, i loved it, and it made me want to teach even more.
dr. cooper came to visit and observe me today, i was so excited that she was there that it completely overshadowed being nervous.
i'm learning more and more that there will always be things to improve on, and for a perfectionist this is an incredibly hard thing to learn... i want everything to be right, every time. but the thing about teaching is that every lesson is different. depending on who you teach to, the dynamic and reception of each lesson is different. i love and hate this all at the same time. it definitely keeps things interesting.
tomorrow i'm going to share some really personal stories about my life and how they relate to the lesson i'm presenting... pray that it is well recepted and that my students come away with a better picture of who i am and why i'm here.
