Both letters and contents, addressed to me!

When we were taught about letters, letter writing and post offices in school,  we had to write a letter to ourselves and post them. After we had tracked back our letters, we had to write an essay recording the process. I couldn’t wait to get my letter back! I ran back and waited till 4.20 pm when the post man would come by to collect the letters from the post box near home.  I even remember asking him, when I’d get my letter! Finally, when I got back my letter and saw the stamping on it- I was thrilled. It had actually been to some place else and had came back to me!

In order to connect with others, you need to be “available” for any opportunities that come your way

That also means that you need to feel comfortable putting yourself out there, sometimes way beyond your comfort zone. But it all starts with learning to feel at home in your own body, being aware of your own emotions and reactions.

This is one form of connection I have in my life, my blog – the ability to connect with people I have never met but portraying myself in a way that you can’t help but feel as if you know me

Connections to me are the people who know when and how to gently ease themselves into your daily life, their words or faces sitting in the palm of our hands, knowing what to say and when to say it. They don’t need to be encouraged to connect with you, they don’t need to be reminded of your situation and the potential hardship you’re facing – common sense says we’re all facing it, some worse than others. It’s the intangible yet undeniable connection with friends and family who know you inside out, who know the steps you have taken to get where you are now and the reasons for where you are at this very moment in time. It’s an inherent level of understanding.

It seems to me like there are a ton of blogs out there for special education teachers, but I have not found nearly as many blogs geared towards the secondary level and specifically for learning disabilities

(let me know if I’m wrong). I would love to connect with other educators and share resources to support this specific population.
