A Teacher's Trek - A Mother's Meandering: Jodi's 365 Day Journey

Thanks to the Maryland Writing Project, this meaningful year long activity is going to help my AVID seniors remember not just bits and pieces of their senior year, but bits and pieces of each DAY of their senior year. Here you will find my photos and thoughts for the next 365 days. I am certain this will be one of the most rewarding projects my students and I do. First a click of the camera, then the happy clicking of my keyboard. Let the journey begin...

Project 365: Day 41 - Sat. June 27th, 2009

Entrance fee into Valley Forge - free. Magnet for the collection on our refrigerator - $3.95. Two tickets for the Secrets and Spies event -$32.00. To see my son's reaction when he met General George Washington - priceless.

I'm not sure where to even begin with this blog. There is so much to tell but I must record it before the details get blurry. It was a day that brought history and theater together for Cody. If he doesn't become a part of the SWAT team (like he professes every day) then maybe he will consider teaching or acting.

The AVID mantra...

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person. -Og Mandino
