I do feel pressure to look a certain way but am fighting that and focusing on being comfortable in my own skin exactly as it is.

I took my fear to literal heights and went skydiving over a year ago. It was in that moment, gazing over the precipice of the plane, when I realized what scared me the most, the unknown.

Not everyone will love you, and that's completely OK.

There's no need to be fearful when another person succeeds. In fact, joining forces and supporting fellow teachers (or co-workers) you believe in is one of the most empowering moves you can make.

The self doubt can be a fantastic opportunity to self-reflect and see where you can grow and be stronger.

I deal with negative, nasty comments on a regular basis. It's difficult to digest because I've always been sensitive and it's a slap in the face to have someone respond cruely when you're trying to lift people up. It's been a huge lesson for me.

Never focus on what you can’t do - only imagine everything you could.
