Ok.. to those who just read my post “Some people call me crazy,” I saw a lot of mistakes in the post. Since I am a teacher, I always read and edit my posts after I publish them. So hopefully you can reread it and see that I am not that stupid… lol. Well, I will be sure to edit my posts before I publish them!!! I am sure there are other teachers who proofread their posts too. Well, I realized I need to stop typing so fast to avoid the mistakes. I am sure there are other mistakes. LOL. Hopefully, you can reread it so it makes more sense now.
The English Teacher in Me
Published by CraftyChica
I am a 36 year old with a bad case of Attention Deficit Order which significantly impacts every aspect of my life, however, I never give up and try to embrace it the best that I can. Piles, messy rooms, disorganization, unpaid bills, poor working memory, forgetfulness, poor time management have become a part of my life. ADD is both a blessing and a curse in my eyes. There are days when I hate it, while on other days I am thankful for it. I have been labeled as organized chaos multiple times and a mess. I have been told to "breathe" and "calm down" so much that I have come to terms with it. If it was not for my 6 years old and husband, I would never be able to find my keys and debit card! I am very personable, intelligent, creative, friendly, and caring yet I cannot keep a teaching job for my life. 9 years and 3 teaching jobs later, I have decided that ADD and teaching just DO NOT mix!!! I hope this blog helps anyone who struggles with ADD, finds my blog relatable. Remember you are not alone... ADD is real and DO NOT let anyone tell you otherwise!! God bless!! “She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds, we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.” ― Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl View all posts by CraftyChica
I am not a teacher and I also reread my posts 🙂
I had to edit my “crazy” post about three times. I think next time I will just publish it when I am sure it is perfect. lol…
Typing fast lets those creative juices flow. I find that if I slow down too much I don’t get the message I want to get out across. I admit it, I’m not an English teacher but I do proof read my posts. Sometimes, I read them like I “think” them not necessarily how I write them. Oh well, it all comes out in the wash!
Most people find it impossible to proofread their own writing. Over time, I’ve learned the most common mistakes I make (like typing “it” when I mean “is”), so I’ve gotten better, but far from perfect.
