Sometimes the unknown can make us feel like we are sinking. It can be hard to set goals or to work towards something when we feel pulled in different directions or are constantly treading water to try and stay afloat.
As much as the COVID-19 pandemic has tossed us into the deep end, I do know one thing for certain.
I cannot wait to jump back into teaching. Connecting with students, cultivating new questions and curiosity is like surfing to me!
That moment when you catch a wave after waiting, swimming, treading and occasionally being turned around under water is magical. I feel the same way about teaching. The waters are not always calm, you don’t always know what is under the surface but man, when you catch that wave it is so satisfying!
Although these next few months are bound to involve some treading water & trying to stay afloat as we figure out the currents and mitigate obstacles, I can’t wait to get surfing with students in the classroom again and to creating the magic together!
Looking forward to meeting you all soon 🙂
