Things Fall Apart

October 6, 2020October 6, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I write a couple months ago about how when you fail, you can either let it become a setback or make it a comeback. I still feel that way, but I also need to be real with you. Sometimes life falls apart. It doesn't always mean you failed. Things just happen. You do what you … Continue reading Things Fall Apart

Teaching Survival Guide

September 29, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Apparently, September 29th is International Coffee Day. Now I know what you're probably thinking. I'm a teacher. I have to drink a lot of coffee right? Wrong. I've never liked the taste of coffee, even when you put everything possible in it. So with that in mind, I know a lot of people drink coffee. … Continue reading Teaching Survival Guide

The Teacher’s Thoughts

September 22, 2020September 22, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I have been teaching virtually for 5 weeks now, and I get asked how teaching is going pretty frequently. It's good. My kids respect me and seem to like me. But to be honest, my students are 7th graders. It's their first year in a middle school, and it's probably their first time being virtual … Continue reading The Teacher’s Thoughts

The Changes a Year Brings

September 15, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I think I speak for most people when I say that this year is not what we expected it to be. So much has happened this year that has changed some norms and aspects of society. I like to plan ahead on most things, and honestly, part of me wasn't sure I was going to … Continue reading The Changes a Year Brings

A History of Labor Day

September 8, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

This past Monday, America and some other countries celebrated Labor Day. Besides a day off of school and work, I wondered what is Labor Day? Why do we celebrate Labor Day? So, like any good historian, I set to find the answer for all of you. This story begins back in the late 1800s. To … Continue reading A History of Labor Day

On the Grind

September 1, 2020August 31, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I feel it's been a crazy couple of weeks. Nothing necessarily bad happened, but I'm continually reminded of who I am and where I'm going in life. One of my favorite quotes right now is "Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise." I feel that in my soul. I'm working and running myself … Continue reading On the Grind

Fighting Injustices

August 25, 2020August 24, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I had a different post planned for today, but I can't, in good conscience, write it today. We're still seeing this pain, this injustice in the world. It's not excusable, and it's not acceptable. This outrage that sparked into a flame with the events that transpired in March doesn't need to stop. Changes need to … Continue reading Fighting Injustices

Don’t Sweat It

August 18, 2020August 17, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I feel like I keep having to mention posts I've already written, but they just keep being relevant! In August 2017, I wrote a post called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" (read it here). It talks about how I worry about life. News flash: I still worry, even three years later. But you know what, … Continue reading Don’t Sweat It

Making a Comeback

August 11, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I talked a few weeks ago about the idea of overcoming perfectionism (read it here). I still absolutely feel that way, and what I want to talk about this week is directly related to this topic. The problem with perfectionism, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, is that if you can't get it immediately, … Continue reading Making a Comeback

Be Assertive

August 4, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / 1 Comment

This is a phrase I find myself saying all the time, whether to me or to my friends. "Be assertive!" I have found this to be such a helpful phrase in many situations of life. For me personally, I am very independent. I hate asking for help to the point where I will struggle along … Continue reading Be Assertive
