Let’s be honest—some mornings, just getting out of bed feels like a victory.
Maybe the bills are piling up. Maybe there’s tension in your marriage, or you’re grieving a loss no one at work even knows about. Maybe you're drained from the weight of being everything to everyone at home—parent, spouse, caretaker, counselor—and then you're expected to walk into school and instantly become an energetic, patient, fully present educator.
That’s not just hard. That feels impossible some days.
But here’s the challenge—and the calling: when you step into that classroom, those kids don’t see what’s going on at home. They don’t see the sleepless night, the anxious heart, or the brokenness behind your smile. What they see is you. And what they need is your best.
