I hold myself to very high standards and want to give
my 110% into everything. Along with this, I really do
beat myself up when I can’t give my everything. I need
to find a better balance with my own expectations for
myself and my mental health. 7/14/23 11/10/23

I will include teachers or staff and still maintain

pleasant conversations even if I personally do not
enjoy their company. 7/14/2311/10/23

One thing that I love about my schools is we often say

“hey we don’t do that here.” when any student is being
mean or not handling things appropriately. We are a
small school and are able to contribute to the school
culture with positivity and kindness. Students are also
able to contribute by being leaders in clubs and
classrooms. 7/14/23 11/10/23

I need to be better about setting professional

boundaries with students. Sometimes it feels that they
come to me as more of a friend than a teacher. I love
fostering relationships, but need to maintain
boundaries for my own mental health and
professionalism. 7/14/23

I act in accordance with all school, district, and

federal policies and laws. 11/10/23
