During Orientation, Teach for America told us that there is a general trend in emotional and physical health for all first year teachers. It is shown at right.
I think I have already passed through the sharp decline and moved into the slight increase stage. But then again, maybe not.
This weekend I took it upon myself to engage in a luxury that I have not permitted myself in quite a while; I read.
I read three books written by David Brin. His blog I read regularly, but I am just getting into his science fiction work. I thought it was quite excellent. Very strong themes of ecological awareness and conservation, as well as political moderation (but not at the expense of indecisevness).
Today, I read One Day All Children.. by Wendy Kopp. Read it. It's inspiring. And it describes (obliquely) the experiences that I am going through.
