I subbed today at Parkside (one of the schools that interviewed me on Wednesday) in a special ed. class. It was so boring! You'd think that I'd get to do something but I just sat around most of the day. It really was not fun. Also, I didn't feel like I was appreciated at the school. I know I already said I didn't do much but I was there and willing to work. I asked for jobs to do and I got breakfast duty, bathroom duty, filling in bubble sheets, and lunch duty. What a great day to spend a day...at least I got paid. After being there, I don't know that I really want to work there at all.
I love quotes. This is a quote I heard in my Creative Arts Methods class during the Fall of 2008 and I loved it. This quote is also one of the handful of helpful things I got from that class.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciouslygive other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
