It seems that all of my blogs have been about McCoy. And while I know that he is a big part of my life right now (and will be forever more), I haven’t said anything about myself lately. I have neglected myself. So this morning, I am going to blog about me. (of course that is my favorite subject—as we all know).
For the first time in my teaching career, I feel like I belong to the school. I feel like I am a part of the Bradley family, that my opinions and decisions are valued, that I viewed as a professional in my field. In the two years before, I felt as if I were a pawn in a chess game. I felt that I was a baby, a newbie, someone who didn’t know how the system worked. My Bradley principal is so awesome. He is very supportive of the specials, especially music. He has supported me in all my decisions with programs, discipline and any problems I have had. He has made my transition to this school flawless and very smooth. And now, he is resigning this year. From the other teachers, I have heard that it will be awful next year. I heard that he has made the building stress-free, that in the years before, the school was full of stress. And now, the stress is gone. And it feels like a safe place to work. I love it! I hope that next years’ principal will be just as supportive of the specials, and that they will not change a lot of things—schedules, programs, assemblies, etc.
I have to keep thinking back to my former principal. And then I will be reminded that anyone will be better than her.
Other than that, my life has been pretty good. Other than my head cold that I have had for about six days.
I JUST CAN’T DO IT! I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT MCCOY!! Sigh… he is just so stinkin’ cute.
