Honesty

  • Honesty must occur at all times, in both thought and action
  • Dishonesty - no matter the reason destroys our credibility, ruins our reputation and costs us our self respect
  • Honesty is not only the best policy but it is also the best therapy

Reflection Questions in Relation to our work

Take a moment to reflect on your classrooms and answer the following questions:


  1. Have I ever been dishonest about my classroom practices?
  2. What are the circumstances?
  3. Am I honestly giving my best effort in preparing for classes and daily?

This week held a tremendous amount of blessings for me

Lunch with Young CJ

I had a blast at my monthly luncheon with my mentee/lil brother CJ.

Watching him grow and mature really warms my heart. He's a special young man with a very bright future. We also had to go to Catfish Floyd's since we were on that side of town. The tartar sauce is amazing.
