Bomb threat happened during our call with my Brazilian friend Mayara! But we found out we were not in the buildings being told to evacuate, so we just continued with our call. We used Zoom instead of Skype for the Global Connection call. I really liked it because Mayara was able to share her screen with us and show pictures of food from Brazil and places that we "must see" if we go to Brazil. To me it was a very fun conversation and it seemed like people were not ready to quit talking when our session had ended. Mayara was so excited about a chance to share about her country.
Earlier today, we heard from Dr. Talya Straughter about taking care of yourself as educators. It was such a helpful session! We talked about balancing our lives physically, financially, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. I really liked her circle graph she used to have us evaluate our life and see which of these areas we need to make more of a priority in our lives. My "emotional" one was very low as I expected so that's something I need to learn how to manage and give myself time. I need to give my stress to God and not carry all my emotional baggage. I was surprised to see my social one was the best area seeing as I am an introvert! I guess I have learned how to make myself "get out of my shell".
