I got it. I finally got it. And for that I am incredibly grateful. You see, the longer I struggled to find the good and the positive, and found only gloom and doom, the worse my vision got. Suddenly, the more I grumbled about the things I could not do, the more miserable I became. The more miserable I became, the worse the students in my class behaved. BUT, I figured it out. I truly am the decisive element in my classroom of life. I realized, I mean like had the epiphany, that I alone could change the atmosphere in my classroom.

So, I began to focus not on what I could not see or do. Not on my deficits or those flaws of the people closest to me and in my classroom- NO- I started to look for the positive in all things. And while I could not literally see any more, I could figuratively see All I needed to see. So, I received the greatest gift of all.

Acceptance of what makes me special. It is what makes me happy. And it is what allows me to make the students in my classroom of life happy and able to chase their dreams. I am grateful that I got this gift. Now, I realize it is not what I cannot see that counts. What counts is exactly what I can see. And what I can see is what I should have been looking for all along. The positive. The good in the world around me. Now that I can’t see. I see it. Fully.

Thanks for Coming.
