Reverb--Avoidance

Prompt: Beyond avoidance. What should you have done this year but didn't because you were too scared, worried, unsure, busy or otherwise deterred from doing? (Bonus: Will you do it?)


I've avoided working to my fullest potential as a teacher this year. I still haven't got the right groove for lesson planning and grading yet. And frankly, I feel like a hamster on a wheel lately.

I've been avoiding pushing myself because I'm lazy and I don't really feel like it. I don't see the reward in stressing myself out or coming up with fabulous lessons only for the kids to say that they 'still don't get it'.

Hopefully, the holiday break will re-energize me enough to want to do this, at least until something better comes along.
