Stuck on Chapter 12

Breaking old habits can be a difficult task. There are times when we become stuck in a routine that we forget the reason we are doing it in the first place. For me, if I don't remind myself about why I'm exercising, then I will just go through the motions and probably not gain anything from it. Even though it's in the back of my mind, I must remind myself so I don't lose track of the main goal which is to stay in good body/mind shape. Changing one's ways is an extremely tough battle. I know that I am set in my way of thinking for a number of things. However, for our students sake, we must always be ready to adapt.

The children in our classroom have many things to teach us. If I am not able to roll with the punches and adapt to the ways of my students, I will never learn from them. In no way should I think that I am the only teacher in the classroom. That wouldn't be fair to them or me. There is not a living person that knows everything about everything, but we can become better at the things we choose. The only way to do that is if we continue to ask questions and learn. In a world where no one asks questions equals a world stuck in their own ways.
