For one week, recommend/share:
✖ Day one: a song
✖ Day two: a picture
✖ Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
✖ Day four: a site
✖ Day five: a youtube clip
Lego Les Mis. they do the marching. Not the best quality, but totally my favourite version of this song because of all the random details. LIKE THE MARCHING.
✖ Day six: a quote
✖ Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy
Forget what I said last night. I'm feeling tired and a little overwhealmed again.
The last week of September is going to be tough. Doable, but tough. I've got two group assignments, and I think two individual assignments due that week, at least. Only one of them very big. And the Sunday, I'm planning on hitting Word on the Street. Which other people should come to, too. Because giant book fair in downtown toronto = awesome. =D
...I'm starting to wonder if I'd be any good at counseling. I...
I like listening to people's problems. I know I do. I want to be someone people can confide in, someone who can be a sounding board, and... maybe be able to help come up with some possible solutions. I also know I have a habit of turning it around and talking to myself.
...but I think it would make me feel needed, and make me be able to give attention as I want, as it would be on a one-on-one session, mainly.
...I also think I'd come home and want to cry a lot.
But then, being a counselor is part of being a teacher too. It's one of the billions of roles that they are required to fulfill in their day to day teaching lives.
It's just been hitting me the past couple days and... yeah. I wonder.....
No matter what, I want wherever I am to be a safe environment. I'm used to feeling not wanted. And I don't want people to feel like that. I want to create as many chances for inclusion as possible. Because there will be kids like me who... feel excluded, or who exclude themselves. (Yes, I exclude myself. I know I do it.) I want to minimize any fear of being left out or made fun of for being different.
...I just found out that someone I know pretty much... is afraid of going to school because of their sexual orientation. I don't believe that should ever happen. I want to make people feel proud of who they are, and be a sounding board for their fears.
I want to empower.
...at the same time, I don't know if I want people to be completely happy. Because it would mean that I'm now useless.....
