I know this should be a weight loss journal not just a personal journal, but because the two are so interlinked, today I'm going to write a power statement.
When teachers lose their jobs, they generally aren't "fired" in the traditional sense of the word, in that they leave that day and don't come back. That's right, after having a tensions escalate at work Friday after being asked to resign, I must still return to work and do my best at my job until June 15th. (The idea makes me nauseous.) All I know to do is my best, and focus on the students rather than the administration. After all, I care about their success and welfare 500% more than I do the petty power struggle of other adults who feel threatened.
So, I will go to work feeling powerful, maintain my diet, plan for the gym tonight, and not be distracted by insecurities demonstrated by either party. Like mom always says, 'There is no growth without change.'
