Fight

Each day at work, I fight. I fight to stay awake. I fight to stay calm. I fight to keep my students focused. I fight to get them to learn something. I fight to stay positive. I lose many fights each day. I do stay awake. I never stay calm. My students don't know how to top talking when I tell them to. I never stay positive. I feel useless. I feel like I haven't taught my kids a thing. The struggle will continue the rest of the school year. I have no choice but to keep fighting and attempting to teach my first graders something.
