Little Jessica was just so inspiring, I had to blog about it. I feel like she relates well to The Art of Possibility. In my case, I look in the mirror sometimes and say: I miss my life, I miss my family, I miss my sanity, I miss my pets, I miss my art, I miss my hobbies. I feel like I have been in another world just struggling to get by each month. I can’t wait to get where this little girl is at, where the freedom of joy of life is at hand. I’ve learned so much at Full Sail and can’t wait to apply it in and out of the classroom.

What a great video. I pray that she holds on to this sense of self-worth through her teen years.
ReplyDeleteWow – if only everyone was this sure of herself. I totally agree with you in terms of missing your life. I started the countdown back when there was 200 days until graduation. I have loved my time with Full Sail University, but am ready to have my life back.
ReplyDeleteI keep remembering back to my under-grad days, when I worked and went to school full time; that was much different than this time around. Now I am married, with a daughter, house payment and a demanding job. The ability to multi-task has always been one of my strong points, but I am so ready to have NO tasks for a while.
The video was inspirational, in that the girl has so much passion. I was always interested in technology, but now go out and seek it rather than view it from afar. I support its inclusion in school and discuss it with my students. Call me a tech nerd, but I am now confident to join the digital world conversation. I am ready to stand in front of mirror and yell out the different ways web 2.0 tools can be used in the classroom. I am the youngest English teacher at my school and always receive looks whenever I mention technology. Now I have the knowledge base to back up what I want to do. Watch out world!
I like this video and I like Jessica and I like the way that Jessica pumps herself up and likes her whole being!
ReplyDeleteGreat connection to The Art of Possibility, Ashley. It was interesting reading this book, each chapter had so much inspiration to offer, as well as real life anecdotes to ground the information. I also think how wonderful that our instructor worked with the author!
Thanks for sharing this inspirational little character with us!
