Today was another typical day at Rise, other than the fact that one of my favorite Technology teachers is now leaving. With one week to go before his departure, I will truly miss the persona he brought to his job.
We got drinks after a long day of work. I’m so sad that the systems that were put in place before he came were too strenuous on him and his family. I know if I were in his position I wouldn’t be able to function. His departure is really bringing to light the amount of work one has to put into surviving at a charter school. I certainly feel it working harder this year – the two tradeoffs I get is experience and the ability to ultimately clear my credential (without having to do BTSA).
If there’s ever a line I’m not willing to cross, it’s damaging my health at my job. I used to over-work myself in the past (at point managing three jobs), and who I am hates who I’ve been in that regard. It’s time to make sure I succeed in creating a healthy balance!
In creating that healthy balance, and on a more positive note, I went with some friends for some late night dinner, and of course – the amazing Pizookies!
Once friends, always friends. It’s always pretty hilarious cracking jokes around these two – they can appreciate my humor. 
Stop right there. That’s exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it’s the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
