One Little Word for 2012

The one little word that I have chosen to live by is... Authenticity.

To live the year being authentic. Being me. Being the person that I know I should be each and everyday even when it is not easy (or popular).

"Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
Christopher Robin to Winnie-the-Pooh



Currently Reading

Currently I am reading too many books. I need to learn to finish one book before starting another.

the realm of possibility by David Levithan
* Parts of this book would be great to use with my students to determine character motivations, point of view, and voice.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
* This book is one that I could use in class with my 10th grade English students in conjunction with readings on World War II. I have been putting off finishing the book for fear that I will have to re-read once I decide when I might want to incorporate it into the curriculum.
