Dear future students,

You don't know me yet. I am head-over-heels ready to meet each and every one of you. I hope that I can be the person that you look up to for the next 180 days of school that we will share together. Being your teacher comes with great responsibility, a responsibility that I will always put first. As your teacher, there are a few hopes of my own that I wish for you as you enter my classroom:

1. I hope you always feel safe.

I promise you, our classroom will be a safe place. Just know that whatever may be bothering you, that I will always be here for you.

2. I hope you know you are loved.

Through the good and the bad, you will hold a special place in my heart.

3. I hope you learn to love school.

I hope that throughout the days you spend in my classroom, your love for school grows and that learning is something you actually enjoy.

4. I hope you believe in yourself.

Take the time to believe in yourself like I believe in you. You are capable and I know you will be able to conquer anything you put your mind to.

5. I hope you realize that being wrong is okay.

I will never degrade you or belittle you for answering something wrong. My job is to help you learn and I will do the best I can in the most compassionate way.

6. I hope you know that your grades or your test scores do not define you.

A grade is just a letter and a score is just a number. But, you? You are everything. You are composed of intelligence, talents, and individual quirks that mean far more than a grade or score.

7. I hope you know that I will always be here for you.

My biggest goal is to develop a relationship of trust within each and every one of you. If anything, please know that I will never let you down.

School may seem scary at first, but I am so ready for our adventure together.

Love,

Your future teacher

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
