The easiest of the 7 1/2 Habits is "Accept responsibility for your own learning". I love to learn and find myself taking time to read self-help books, read online information, take staff development (When I can find them offered at times I'm not committed to after school activities, which tends to be July!), and I am presently taking graduate courses for library science.
Most challenging of the 7 1/2 Habits is "Play" which may seem strange to most people but when you think about my childhood where little time was spent on family activities and playing around it doesn't seem so strange. Although I am not good at playing games it doesn't mean I don't understand the need to do what makes one happy. If I don't satisfy my need and create happiness for myself then I don't have much to offer the students I teach or the family I love. Right now I create that happy spot by spending time with my husband of 34 years and our dogs Bonny and Ryder and teaching students I enjoy spending my time with.

About Me
- arkreynolds
- Originally from Indiana I've called Texas my home for the last 9 years and absolutely loved living there. Moving away from my Texas friends was a hard choice but being closer to family was important at this time of my life. No, I don't miss the snow and cold weather in Indiana and would rather "bake" in the Texas heat! The love of my life for the past 38 years and I have a long distance marriage since our family situation requires him to be with them. I recently began cross stitching, quilting and kniting again. I look forward to giving more grandma hugs and meeting great people while enjoying the weather here in NC.
