A warm home where my family can sleep peacefully without worry. It isn't fancy, and it has lots of things that need fixing, but it is our home and it means that all of my struggles matter.

Yesterday, one of the teachers I work with brought me lunch when I had to stay behind and work during a professional development conference. She did it out of care.

Last night I called my boss and had a great conversation about the exciting directions our school is traveling. It was the moment where I told him that I was not willing to step backward and believed that I am the person to coordinate our growth and transition to a teacher leadership model. I know that, whatever happens, the experiences I've had and knowledge I've gained will pave the way to a bright future. Somehow I have to find a way to overcome the debilitating self-doubt that keeps me from planning, acting, and reflecting at the level I know I'm capable of.
