My 6 Word Memoir

Second semester improves.

Living more balanced.

This is my 6 word memoir. In 6 words, I have described my new semester and I think it sums it all up pretty well.

Maybe you are familiar with this new fad, maybe not, but I have my School Leadership professor to thank for introducing me to this. My professor is awesome! She is a principal at an elementary school in Cy Fair and everytime we meet, she motivates me. I hope as an educator and a leader people say that about me. Actually, I would hope that as a human being in general, people could say that about me.

Anyway, we started reading 6 word memoirs in class and I think they are ridiculsouly creative. It also makes me wonder if sometimes we just use too many words. My husband will probably tell you I do. But, I wonder if maybe sometimes life can be summed up in 6 words and I'm always up for a good challenge. 

So back to my 6 word memoir:  Second semester improves. Living more balanced.

So I know you are asking yourself, why my 6 word memoir? Well, as most you know, I have gone back to school. Yes, yes, I know, I had nothing else to do in life, so why not take on a doctorate now? And last semester was my first semester of doctorate school and it was crazy, to say the least. I studied all the time, I got stressed, I took days off of work to catch up, I couldn't find the time to go to church and I rarely saw my friends. I was far from balanced. But I learned from it. I learned how to be a student again. (I won't mention how ironic that is considering I'm a teacher). And that brings me to this semester. I'm already feeling more balanced. Last week, Brad and I took a spontaneous trip to Galveston and I think that's balance. So, as I strive to be more balanced this year, I hope to take the time and evaluate my life and sometimes put it in 6 words, just for fun...
