I thought it was going to be a strenuous class session today. I had to bring in all the energy I may have needed to do the assessment and some light tutoring with my student. It wasn't so bad. I don't really care for the room. I did see some improvement with her. I know that I would have to touch base with her reading teacher on this just to confirm it. It's been a while since we both have gone to "school" at UOG. (She did take a nap on the way home. She needed it.) I am kind of glad that Nathaniel kept an active conversation with me during the drive home. He kept me abreast of the comings and goings of his classmates (my fourth graders from last year). Hearing all this about them, I have only one thing to say: "You can bring the horse to the water but you can't force it to drink." I only hope that they can stay focused for them to be successful. Which brings me to my quote of the evening... Quote: "Success doesn't come to you...you go to it." - Marva Collins
Being successful doesn't get handed out like flyers. One must earn it to get it. Great quote!
I like your quote too Lucille! Success is earned and hard work always pays off! Thank you, again, for bringing Nathaniel with you. It was good to see him so chipper and not as quiet as last semester.
ReplyDeleteYour quote is one of those examples where we say, "easier said than done." Success is a hard road to travel, but it becomes that long drive that somehow ended, and we wonder where time went. Love the quote. I guess I'm not the only one feeling the 'pain in the wallet' on Wednesdays - feeding our little ones on the way. Thanks to Nathaniel, I learned a good idea...POWER NAP...VERY HELPFUL! I may just try that. Lucky you, the long drive helps lullaby them to sleep a bit. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou won hands down with the class quotes! We all do what we do to become successful in our careers as well as our personal lives. We all need to continue to chase after our dreams. No one else will hand to us in a silver platter. Take Care!
