Practice

January 19, 2021January 19, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

You've probably heard the saying "Practice makes perfect." While the sentiment is nice, I believe it to be completely inaccurate. I wrote a post last year on preparation and how I was preparing to take over for student teaching. I mentioned this quote then, but I'll mention it now too: "You practice how you perform." … Continue reading Practice

2021 Goals

January 5, 2021January 5, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Happy New Year! 2020 is over. I didn't expect the year to go the way it did, in both good and bad ways. I truthfully could not have planned to be in the place where I am now. But, that being said, I do recognize the growth I have accomplished in 2020. I'm not where … Continue reading 2021 Goals

Trying New Things

December 1, 2020December 1, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

You have probably heard the phrase a number of times. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Most of the time, I HATE that phrase. The main reason I hate that phrase is that it's usually not true. You should never stop learning in your life. You should always br learning new things. There … Continue reading Trying New Things

End of Year Goals

November 10, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

We have heard it so much this year, "These unprecedented times..." I know many people are over 2020. And yeah, truthfully, this year sucked. But the way I see it, we can't move forward without acknowledging the hardships. No real journey to progress is completely smooth. There are bumps, mountains, valleys, and a lot of … Continue reading End of Year Goals

Be Prepared for Anything

October 27, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I talked last week about how expectations can be good or bad. But you shouldn't let expectations define yourself or how you see people. This post is related to that in a sense. But it's also not. I know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. A big thing I am learning is that … Continue reading Be Prepared for Anything

Expectations

October 20, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

We all have expectations about different things. Sometimes our expectations are met, sometimes they are exceeded, and sometimes we are disappointed. That's life and that's how life works. I have expectations of my fitness goals. I honestly hoped that I would be farther along. When I started focusing more on my health, I hoped to … Continue reading Expectations

Putting it all Back Together

October 13, 2020 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Last week I wrote about how sometimes things fall apart. I joked that this week I would have everything back and would write about it. Well I'm writing about it, but I don't have everything back together. Reality is a little bit more complicated than that. I mention all the time that I'm still working … Continue reading Putting it all Back Together

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
