Butterflies
I got to admit that sitting here writing this journal I kind of feel a little out of the loop. I wanted to begin my residency last week and with midterms and me falling ill none of those plans went through. I am excited to start this upcoming week, but I feel that I still have a lot of planning to do and a lot of strategic things to look over and think about. I feel like every one else in the program has gotten started and I’m still not in the flow of things. I have been thinking of ways to present information to my kids and how to have type of evaluations, interactions, ect. I feel like I have too many ideas and don’t know where to begin. I guess going to actually teach for my first class will help me put things into perspective as how the kids will response to my art form and if they will be excited to have me there. I want to help in so many ways I just hope that I can find the right ways to present my information so that the kids will enjoy it and take away from it some useful information. If anything I want to teach the kids about culture and how to appreciate and embrace their own cultures. I want to be able to guide them in the direction of finding themselves and their identity.

Dear Alicia:
I understand that you feel out of the flow. I agree. This began when you were unable to attend the planning meeting and other introductory events, and then you became ill. However, your skills ang goals are more powerful that all of that. You will find a way in to the school once you focus your energies in that direction. You have the talent and wisdom to become a fabulous educator. But, you need to reach out and take charge. You can do that. You are brilliant and talented. Now, you just need to put your action behind your values and everything will be fine.
