Wearing lots of hats...and trying to look good wearing them.

Teaching is a profession where you wear a lot of hats. 

One moment I'm in a meeting with my coworkers and discussing literacy strategies used in the classroom, the next moment I'm scolding a kid for being late to class, then skip to 5 minutes later where I'm hugging the girl who got dumped by her 14 year old boyfriend. I'm using therapeutic strategies to get an Autistic student to mellow, planning for a homecoming dance, organizing a leadership conference, tutoring a student on the differences between the northern and southern colonies, and mentoring my student teacher on strategies used for lesson planning. 

And that's all within a matter of a few hours, people.

I don't know how I do it all, but I wear a lot of hats! Its hard to juggle my work hats with my social hats, church hats, friend hats, and the list goes on...

How do you all wear a million hats? I'm about to throw them all way!
