Yesterday I wrote:-
My single biggest fear is living the rest of my life in abject mediocrity. I want to make a difference.
Many kind people have made comments on my Facebook page, saying that I do make a difference, but somehow it is not enough. One comment yesterday really summed up how I feel:-
Reading between the lines of your blog tells me you may need to change direction. What makes your heart beat faster?
I love teaching and really am looking forward to getting back to it, but I have allowed myself to become overburdened with the bureaucracy of it all. I have a real passion for teaching science, but have let all the strategies and policies get in the way of that. That is going to change.
But I need still need more. One idea I have is to become a champion for mental health in schools and in the wider world. Hopefully this blog is the start of that but any suggestions of things I could do, would be gratefully received.
