Wk 3 Response to Debra Atherton

It’s complicated being me. Sometimes I’m a walking manifestation of Rule Number Six: I stand on desks, I make funny faces, I tell funny stories on myself. I apologize easily if I get something wrong. And other times I’m the queen of seriousness. Usually when students aren’t doing what I want. What IIIII think is important. Why, it’s almost like I have two selves!

Debra,
First, let me say, that I love to read your posts. Your writing is at times a hilarious free flowing thought that I can't help but be engaged in.

I loved reading the evolution of you. I find myself in the same trap. I pick and choose when I want to care. A part of me wants to constantly be rule enforcer and another part of me wants to be a hippie with no rules...just love. When the two merge, I find that the mixture can be explosive at times and at other times a pushover. To find that inner balance, I must let the war rage. There are times when one side is the victor over the other.

Way to write from the heart and post pictures of you being you...
Jess
