When I was a kid I wanted to be a cop

Keywords: {0}

I thought [it] was a honorable job. My opinion of law enforcement has changed over the years but I still remember how I felt about the idea of wearing the badge. I used to dream and have aspirations. Why did I stop? I got to the point where my biggest aspiration is making it to my next day off alive. I think that at some point we inadvertently decided that this was it. This mundane lifestyle is all we will ever have. We don’t think that anything can change our lives at this point in the game. We stopped caring and wanting to be better. Having dreams is a let down at this point in our lives.

Recognizing and acknowledging the power I have and powers I want to have are the keys to making real change

Just having passed a power station, it struck me that I feel powerful. I have no problem describing myself as strong, but do not generally identify with power. That needs to change.

Going forward I want this to be a source for good

I started this blog with the intention of sharing the daily insights of what it was like to be a substitute teacher. I didn’t think people would actually be into reading my thoughts/experiences inside the classroom. I have little control over what is taught in the classroom, as permanent teachers and administrators are the ones who oversee that on a day-to-day and yearly basis. So in layman’s terms I’m pivoting, or shifting the content from my daily struggles and anecdotes to sharing trends (the good and the bad) within the education realm from the standpoint of a future educator.

I’m not tied to the outcome or the agenda

I have found in coaching that reflection on your own thoughts is one of the most powerful tools of coaching. Knowing that someone isn’t trying to sway, influence or manipulate you helps you feel safe and reflect on what you really want. This happens through active listening. If I’m trying to push a rope, I’m wrapped up in my own agenda. When I am actively listening, I am making a safe space for someone to reflect.
