Life Lesson from the Classroom

Friends,

Today is officially graduation day! I’ve earned a teaching certificate! This day means more to me than I could ever write.  It’s without question one of the greatest moments in my life--- proof that dreams really do come true!    I stared the blog to share stories, thoughts, and life lessons from the classroom.     Here’s a list of what being in the classroom really taught me.  This is what I really hope my students learn from me one day.

Life Lessons from Ms. Lang

·       Just because I’m a teacher doesn’t mean school was easy.

·       The easy way (or the fastest way) isn’t always the best way.

·       Always give everything in life your BEST and remember that only you know if you gave a task your BEST attempt.

·       Remember, that someone else’s extraordinary might be your ordinary.

·       Every assignment or task in life  is a grade….   You’re character and willingness to work hard matter!

·       Give your talents, time, and abilities to inspire and encourage others

·       People need people even if they won’t tell you.   Say something kind everyday  

·       Choose your words carefully; they matter in a really powerful way

·       Let someone know that they did a good job!

·       Reassure people that you BELIEVE  in them!

·       Have goals and share them with people who can support and keep you accountable.  

·       It’s a promise that you’ll get discouraged when you are trying to achieve a goal that matters…. Don’t give up until you know you’ve tried every avenue!

·       Not everyone understands why your goals and dreams matter to you.  You   don’t always have to explain yourself just keep trying to be your very best!

Look for ways to impact the world around you.   Stay inspired!
