Success Journal - October 24, 2013

Today I felt that I was a positive example to my students by donating blood. I know it's not specifically academic, but I felt that I was doing the right thing. It was also a chance to let some students see me outside of the regular class time, which I believe is important, as students begin to see you as a real person, not just someone who stands at the front of the classroom. Afterwards, I felt very woozy, but I took care of myself and stuck with the rest of the day, even though I honestly just wanted to go home. So overall, today was a very long and tiring day, but I persevered.
