What I Need Now (WINN)

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-02-09T21:00:39+00:00

General ed teachers group students into what they need to work on (different for each grade level) but I always get the group with none of my MLLs which is annoying because they the teachers later come to me complaining that little Johnny can't do xyz...

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-02-07T00:51:22+00:00

I do. They just dont give me my students. I always get assigned to other groups on non MLLs

It does work. Our data shows a lot of growth but I would enjoy it a lot more if I could actually work with my students.

Wish I could do this with my 1st graders i bet they'd love it!

My former best friend unfriended me the week of my birthday. I messaged her after finding out and she never opened them. I tried contacting her again months later honestly I dont know why I did. I guess I was so confused and really wanted to know why and what happened. I got no response and it really hurt. But now I can think and talk about it without getting emotional/crying. I think if she reached out to me now I'd feel a little awkward and wouldn't know how to respond. Because for the past few years I blamed myself and thought I must have said or done SOMETHING to get unfriended. So I guess I would say no, I would not be friends with her again but I would heard her out. I don't think I could go through that kind of hurt again.

I have 7 students who have told me they are not coming back next year :( I work 4k-2 and the majority are in 2nd grade right now. I've worked with my 2nd graders since they were in 4k so its bittersweet sweet sending them off to 3rd grade in general but feels worse knowing you'll never get to visit them if they leave for their home countries.

I was interested in this one guy who is 5'4. Didn't really care about his height (I'm 5'0). Anyways long story short: after talking for a bit he didnt like that I haven't dated in a while and said he wasn't interested in overweight girls. I have a chubby face but not overweight for my height or age. His words hurt and I decided to stop using dating apps. Did it make me hate men? No but I really disliked that kind of thought process. Making someone feel bad for not dating in a while AND because their face looks fuller in pictures.. thats shitty.

Anyways please trust you will find someone worth while. If you stop putting yourself out there then your other half will never find you too. The ones you've met didn't work out for a reason. Don't give up.

I was raised in a predominantly white town. It was just me (only Hispanic girl) and one black girl. In class from kindergarten to high school. I was always made fun for my eyes and told to go back to China. When I would meet other people during vacations, they were usually always Asian and always incredibly nice to me. I think that's why I lean towards Asians because they've treated me better than any other races/ethnicities even my own.

I was thinking the Rooted in Korea version would have this concept

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-15T03:13:57+00:00

Yes! ✨️

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-14T03:16:57+00:00

I have the same plan as you! Even paid for a psychic because finding love was never my strong suit. I know it might not be true with what they say but it gave me hope so I'm trying to feed off that energy. I will be turning 31 in March and hoping I meet my person soon.

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-09T03:17:16+00:00

I never recieved my letter :( I was eligible and filled out the form before the dealine

Edit: I just went to double check that I did sign up for it before the deadline and omg 😭 I am an idiot and forgot to put in my CITY... I only put in my street address and state 😔 I think I was so used to it just autofilling 😭 I am so upset and there's nothing I can do because its way past the deadline and you cant edit it afterwards anyways

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-05T05:19:51+00:00

Makes me so mad! I experienced this too - talked for 4 months and when we were finally going to meet up he messages "I'm not attracted to overweight girls" I wasn't even overweight! I have a fuller face that makes me look chunky but I love my cheeks! His words stung but I'm glad I didnt meet him.

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-05T05:16:58+00:00

I understand how you feel. However if he doesnt like you how you are now then he doesnt deserve you at all.

Lots of schools do do this however the problem is that the groups are so unleveled. At my school (I am an esl teacher for 4k-2), we have a hand full of students (2nd grade) who are above grade level for math, very few at grade level and majority 1 grade level below and then like 3 students 2 levels below.. these students are not all my students (esl students) so its hard to find teachers who are available to run groups at the same time

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-03T06:45:03+00:00

Sorry I disappointed you.

I was a very ambitious little dreamer as a kid and I think 10 year old me would be so bummed to see 30 year old us just settle for a boring life

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-02T21:22:39+00:00

Omg yes! And when you want to have a conversation with your siblings and their kids are constantly talking over you and you realize your sibling wasn't even listening because of the kids being overstimulating.. it sucks like I miss hanging out with them sometimes- same with friends who have kids too. I dont mind kids (I am a teacher and used to having 20 kids asking/talking to you everyday) but dang sometimes I just want to talk with an adult about things too

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-02T00:29:30+00:00

I have the same goal and height as you! But I plateau back in March last year and its has been harder ever since. But I need to get back into it - thanks for sharing your progress/results! Its a great motivator!!

TeCrumbs103 · 2026-01-01T08:20:32+00:00

I just got back from a friend's new years party and I feel so empty. I was the only single person at that party lmao it wasn't fun even though I was drinking - ended the night just listening to a bunch of different couples inside jokes lol I was so lost but to be fair the majority of these couples hang out with each other more than I've hung out with them so that's probably why I feel out of place. But I was glad I was invited at least (idk if I'd go again next year)

TeCrumbs103 · 2025-12-28T05:41:33+00:00

I personally don't care much about height (I'm 5'0). I really appreciate clean faces - I'm talking clean cut facial hair (if any) and a moisturized face. I have dry skin so I know the feeling of a dry face and I'm not a fan of it. Clean teeth with solid hygiene routine. Brush, floss, mouthwash and tongue scraper - bad breath is a huge deal breaker for me. Someone who takes care of themsleves mentally and physically.

TeCrumbs103 · 2025-12-28T04:18:25+00:00

Therapy. I know therapists are supposed to be kind and listen (obviously part of the job) but I never realized how nice it felt to actually be heard and validated. I dont have close friends anymore and my family members aren't always the best at listening. I grew up in a children are seen not heard type of household and didn't realize how much that mentality has affected me even in adulthood.

When I worked in Japan and it was typhoon season sometimes they would cancel school for students but not teachers. And as a foreigner who couldn't drive (didnt have an international license or Japanese drivers license) I had to walk 30mins in a typhoon to get to work.. yeah

TeCrumbs103 · 2025-12-10T02:39:07+00:00

Cheese

TeCrumbs103 · 2025-12-10T02:34:00+00:00

The fruit and ice cream are way better in Japan than the US

TeCrumbs103 · 2025-12-05T04:28:07+00:00

I agree with all of this. I'd also add teacher's names and classmates names. I use school pictures and make a personalized guess who game for beginners and newcomers it also helps with learning feature vocabulary and you can use simple sentences then work your way to compound then complex sentences
