Each and every day I could try madly to fill someone else's shoes, while not stepping on anyone's toes. They are very big shoes (I fill in for some truly amazing teachers), and I am quite the clumsy girl.
Put it quite simply, it's an impossible job. A job I could go crazy trying to do. It's a good thing that I don't try. I have learnt that I can't ever really fill anyone else's shoes, and that I'm bound to step on someone's toes occasionally.
Now that sounds like I don't like my job... and nothing is further from he truth. I adore my work. But each and every day I need to remember that it simply isn't possible for me to do anything other than my best.
And that is why I wear my silly hot pink shoes- they remind me that I can't really fill anyone else's shoes, but as long as I'm smiling- that it's ok. They remind me that I really can only be me. Also, when wearing shoes that were a gift from a teaching colleague- well then the smile is impossible to wipe from my face.
There are still a few places available at the workshop, email to reserve your place now.
