The most important thing I learned my first year as a teacher is that everyday is a NEW day....
This goes for me, for students, for parents, for colleagues...there were days that were really hard emotionally, mentally, etc. I always had to remind myself that tomorrow would be a new day. For the student who had a really off day, for the lesson that didn't go the way I planned, for the parent who had given me a piece of their mind, and for the colleague who wasn't very supportive, tomorrow would be a new day, where everyone would start with a clean slate. Remembering this helped me not be so hard on others or myself because I knew that tomorrow would be a better day!
