They HATE the superficial front that so many adults/teachers present. (I love this post because it makes me love my job... hearts!)<br /><br />p.s. The Mermaid Chair irritated me because it lacked the depth and pace that Sue Monk Kidd offered in Secret Life of Bees.

Over Christmas break while chatting with my little sis and her friends that are all in college, I realized that I am literally in a completely different world, and they probably think that I am so old and boring. But then I thought, awww who cares. They'll be there someday too, and then they'll look back and realize how cool I really was. HA! I bet you are one of the most fun subs they can get there at the high school. I think you're right about trying to just be yourself.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004387896665020980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-60654342846716360862011-01-12T11:30:22.515-08:002011-01-12T11:30:22.515-08:00I just got called into the young women's presi...I just got called into the young women's presidency over the mia maids. We're a whole new presidency, and the last presidency was in for 4 years.<br /><br /> So I can actually relate to this. I just want them to like me, I want to make a difference in their lives. It doesn't change that I'm still happy with who I am, and that I'm confident in myself. I just want them to like me anyway.<br /><br /> It's who we are as human beings. No one enjoys being disliked. Well, most normal people don't enjoy it anyway.<br /><br />I'm not going to change who I am in order to be liked, of course, so if they end up liking me anyway, then that's a bonus.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769910337177639884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30518121.post-16902031593291795272011-01-12T11:15:25.156-08:002011-01-12T11:15:25.156-08:00Such a profound post.

I find myself worrying a bit about what my girls' friends think of me, but then remind myself that it doesn't matter.<br /><br />What's important is that I be myself, be kind, and be a good example!<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498765643079748671noreply@blogger.com
