I sit here in study hall and wonder why?
Why do people think that it is okay for treat others like they don't matter?
I have a very hard time wrapping my head around the idea that there are still people like this around. It makes me sad, it makes me wish that people would realize how much they have an impact on others. Lately I've really seen many of my kiddos suffering because of how their being treated by their peers and even their family members.
This year I really tried to get my kiddos to buy into the concept of "love love". I just figured that if they learned how to 'love love' each other while they were at school that it could carry on with them outside of school. Little did I know how hard it would be for them to try to be positive influences outside of school when they are faced with so much hate and negativity.
How can I expect them to be positive while they are at school when they are coming with all their hurt.
It's my fourth year teaching out in a remote village in Alaska. I've come to count my blessings each day, to laugh at my mistakes, and to live my life to the fullest!

Future...
The future is often a scary thing, filled with unknowns. That's why it's so daunting to think about what the future holds because you can never be certain. This is where I find myself right now, trying to think about the future but not thinking too concretely because you can never know what the future holds.
Today I've been very distracted trying to think about where I see myself in the future. I haven't been able to get much of anything done without finding myself daydreaming about the possibilities. Do I see myself in Chevak for another year? Or do I see myself ending this chapter in my life? There are many considerations that are going to be apart of this decision, if I am faced with making a decision. The district hasn't yet offered contracts, so there is a possibility that I wouldn't be offered one, but nonetheless I suppose it's better to try to be prepared.
I can't even focus enough right now to the things that need to be done.
Other than the distractions in my mind, there is some exciting things happening. I'm not sure of all the details but I'll be sure to let you in on all the excitement once things are finalized.
