Never let anything stop you from learning!

I just watched a Hallmark Hall of Fame program about a teacher, Mr. Bruce Cohen, who has Tourette's Syndrome.  He makes many odd noises and has many unusual movements that he can not control.  People made fun of him at school and in the community.  He did not let it stand in his way to be successful.  In fact, he said his disability taught him how to be a better teacher and person.  Tourette's taught him to keep going and never give up.

What gets in your way to being successful? 
Do you have a positive attitude or a negative one?  
What works for you?
Who is an inspiration for you?

Crystal,
I am glad you had a great time in reading class even if I get cranky occasionally. I just every student to be successful and to work as hard as you do.

I will never give up my dreams to teach students become the best readers and learners that they can be. I also have a dream to be an artist someday.

Crystal,
I am more of a dog person than a cat person. However, I have had both dogs and cats. Right now I only have stuffed animals because they are easy and loveable.

Which do you prefer, cats or dogs?

Hi Ms.Green
The person who teases me a lot is Jamie(Austin)Mandes.. Some time he bump me and i don't like it so i told him to stop bumping me!! He said sorry to me!! Sometime he call me names everywhere like in math class and i don't like and i just annoy him and kept doing my homework and when i am done i just read a book and still annoy him until class is over. My feeling is sad and i just want him to stop teasing me.My attitude is good because i just annoy him and i sometime don't talk to him when he tease me. I never talk yo him if he tease me again! I told him to stop calling names to me but after that he kept calling me names again.
