If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be?
In addition to answering the question on your blog for your life, I want you to comment on mine with who you think I should cast and why.

Writing prompt #8 - Due March 6, 2013
Look at the following pictures/quotes and choose the one that means the most to you. Copy and paste the one you choose into your own blog (if you want to take more than one, go for it). Once you have it copied and pasted into your own blog, write about what it means to you and why you chose it.
Obviously, they all mean something to me, or I wouldn't have chosen them for this writing prompt. All of them impart something that either fits my personal beliefs or imparts a lesson that I hope my students take to heart. I'm a firm believer that I'm here to teach more than English and literature. I'm here to help prepare you all for what comes after high school - not just the academic, but the life lessons. If I had to choose one (which, of course, is the point of this whole thing), I would choose the next to last picture - "Be the change you want to see in the world." First of all, it's the picture I have on my phone's home screen, so I see it every time I have my phone on. I placed it there because it's a daily reminder that everything I do makes an impact - sometimes one that I'm trying to do, but most of the time I have to realize that I may not know the impact. I don't think anyone goes into teaching without wanting to make an impact. I know that was a big reason why I went into teaching - and why I coach. I hope I make an impact - and I hope it's a positive one. That's what the picture reminds me of - every action I take (or don't take) makes a change of some kind. If I want to make a positive change/impact, then I have to make sure my actions fit that. One person may not change the entire world, but if they change it for one person and that one person goes and changes things for another, it's a snowball effect.
