For the past year, I have tossed around the idea of blogging. As a lifelong learner, I love to learn and grow through Twitter, blogs, Facebook, google searches, book studies and more. I had mixed emotions about blogging, and I even had the blogging fears.
After seeing this picture one day, I realized that I need to get out of my comfort zone because I want to be where the magic happens! Learning and growth take place in that magic area. I have also realized that you can not grow if you aren't changing. Though the word "change" is a nerve rattling word, I have decided to exchange the word "change" with the word "grow." Maybe then "change/growth" won't be so scary.
Everyday as a teacher, I remind my students that if they want to make something happen then they have to do something about it. Therefore, I have to not just talk the talk, I have to walk the walk. I want my students to be risk-takers, therefore I have to take risks. I share with my students my failures and successes, and the lessons I learn from them. So as I embark on this blogging journey, I encourage you to leave those blogging fears behind. I challenge you to write your first blog and share it with others. Get out of your comfort zone, and get to where the magic happens! Happy Blogging!
