I just might bend but I won't break

Flexibility: The quality of being adaptable.

There is a song that is popular now with the line "I just might bend but I won't break". I had to think of this line as my final year of college has begun and everything seems CRAZY! My peers and I were given several changes in the week before school started. Even if this all seemed a bit stressful (especially when you are a planner!) it really gave me a taste of what my career will be like. I know that as a teacher I will have to continually be flexible. Many teachers get reassigned in the weeks before school begins and no matter how much I try to plan ahead, my instruction will have to be flexible based on the abilities of my students.

I will be flexible; I will not break.
