First Year Slicer Day 22
“I’m not gonna lie, Miss” is what some of my students say when I share concern about missing assignments or attendance, so let me share my truth: I’m not gonna lie. I started this challenge super pumped to write and be a part of a writing community, and then I chickened out around day 14. I talked myself out of writing every day: I’m on spring break, I don’t want to do anything, I got a new puppy (which I did), I’m too tired, etc. For me, writing is the best way to process well, almost anything. And I began to process a lot. I realized that I felt overwhelmed by anxiety, so I took a step back. And now I begin again.
