3๏ธโฃ Would I want to be a student in this class?
In December, I left the only district I have known to start a new adventure as vice principal at a new school. Today we opened our doors for students to come in the building for the first time since March 2020. Iโm excited for all we will do @teccsjc#hybridinstruction#firstday

Merry Christmas! ๐
Circumstances have no power over you. One day youโre in traffic and it bothers you. The next day youโre in a great mood and it doesnโt. Itโs not the traffic. If it was it would always cause the same response. Itโs not the event or circumstance. Itโs always your state of mind.
