Trust-the good news

I believe one of the reasons I had such a strong bond with many students is trust.  It takes time to build trust, and once you get it, trust me, you don’t want to let it go.  Trusting an authority figure is rare, and imperative for healthy relationships.

When I realized, the vitality of this connection- but am no longer teaching, I turned the trust compass on myself.  How can I nurture more trusting relationships if I don’t always trust myself?  I trust kids. I trust them to tell the truth when complaining of school work. I have not always trusted that I am doing right by kids- giving tests and teaching AP classes and such. 

But I do trust that I am on the right path.  Attempting to bring light to education for the purposes of a new enlightenment is my endeavor. I write at my pace, on my time.  Trust that I will use my freedoms to benefit myself and society.  Truth seeker.  Trust maker.  

What about you?  Who do you trust?  What do you trust?  More or less?  Either you do or you don’t?  

Trust is to Truth as Time is to Freedom.  I have freedom to pursue truth, because I trust my time wasted, and it’s not time wasted if I am pursuing truth.  I don’t know, just rambling.  I trust I will get better.
