I Am I am a determined teacher. I wonder what my students will be like this year. I hear the sounds of their voices in the hallway. I see their smiling faces. I want this to be a successful year. I am a determined teacher. I pretend that I’m organized ALL the time. I feel hopeful for the future. I touch the lives of children. I worry that I won’t be effective. I am sad when I let someone down. I am a determined teacher. I understand that learning does not come easily to everyone. I say that I’ll I try to reach all of the students. I dream that EVERYONE will lead successful lives. I try to encourage everyone. I hope I don’t let anyone down. I am a determined teacher. By: Mrs. Howard
