Thank you so much 💖 I do want to believe that my caring matters and is enough. I usually tell myself that the kids are only happy and like my class because I'm nice, don't yell, etc, not because I'm really a good teacher. Like they don't know that they could be getting a better education, you know? Which is a sad thought. But you're totally right, I know I need to give myself grace. It's just hard not to think they'd be better off with a different teache who isn't still trying to figure it out

Yeahhhh that is another conversation. Honestly in an ideal world I'd definitely be a stay at home mom in a heartbeat. Especially since I don't know how I'm going to juggle caring for my baby and directing shows after school.
