I’m thanking myself. That may sound presumptuous of me, but before you judge, walk a year in my shoes: (please know these are not complaints, just reality) 1st semester— had 20 3-5 yr old Neuro typical students + 1 online student + 1 student with autism (who had a para); 16 yr old daughter was kidnapped and sexually assaulted; husband went to trial after 4 yrs and found innocent; all while battling hypermobile joint disorder (and the accompanying pain)
2nd semester: had COVID w/ asthma complications; 19 yr old’s brain disorder no longer in remission; 85 yr old father fell, needed hip replacement surgery, and is moving in with us this week.
My class is my sanctuary, and my students, who are excelling, are my happy place.
