Are we too comfortable?

I teach first grade and so I used this as I named the blog. I was also thinking that as I go through this journey I will be stumbling, crashing, whatever it may be into many firsts and many changes. I'm excited about the journey but also really scared. I like to be comfortable so change is something that is out of my comfort zone. During the summer I tried really hard to be committed to stay in shape. In one of the classes I took the instructor made the comment "get comfortable being uncomfortable" many times. I'm going to try and remember that as I work through this journey. I'm excited to get to think and act on how to best support students and make sure they are successful but at the same time I worry that maybe change can't happen. It seems like there are so many road blocks that come our way that sometimes it's just easier to be "comfortable." I know that there are going to be a lot of people supporting me in this journey of change so I do know that somehow change will occur. I might need to be reminded-get comfortable being uncomfortable.
