Thoughts in verse by Rick A. Sheets 1/96
Some of us are tall, others are short.
Some work from sun-up, others late into the
night.
Some are peacemakers, others are rebels.
We come in all shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds,
ages, and levels of development.
We have different styles in learning, teaching,
and
dealing with life, as do our students.
We are at times testy, caring, judgmental,
helpful,
tired, concerned, overwhelmed, or enthusiastic.
We deal with balancing a combination of ideas,
skills,
abilities, biases, visions, needs, and demands
of ourselves, our students, friends, and colleagues.
We can and do make a difference,
as we are all merely children in this reality.
We can change our perceptions and our attitudes.
Each day can be a new beginning and a new
adventure.
Be kind to yourself, have fun, and most of
all
Carpe Diem!
