Name something that you’re picky about, and explain why. I'm picky about being on time, my being on time and others. I think it's disrespectful to be late..... Making someone else wait means your time is more important than their's.
I'm picky about the paperwork I do for school. Documents need to be clear to parents.
Name something that you are easygoing about, and explain why. Oh, hm. I guess others lives.... Live and let live. I don't get involved in other people's drama or how they choose to live their lives.
Name something you are passionate about, and explain why. Teaching..... self explanatory, I think. One mom said in a meeting last week that her daughter is finally, as a fifth grader, becoming interested in reading. Yes! That's what I want for the kids I work with.... Help them gain confidence and enjoy learning.
Name something that you couldn’t care less about, and explain why. Using social media. I just don't have a need to know what others are doing every minute of the day.
Quote of the Day:
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”
