Where Will You Take Life?


skydiver, skydiving
Success!


Where will you take life?  We take life beyond “normal” limits, sky high, sky life.  The sky is NOT our limit for we have NO limit.  You have NO limits, except for those that you allow to exist.  Remove your mental obstacles.  Train your mind and your body.  Push to be your best you—one more lap, one more mile, one more rep.  Through the doubts and fear, we train. 
            We are all capable of what we can imagine—what we can imagine, we can do.  We let our imaginations soar.  Where will yours take you?  It’s true, life happens.  Don’t let it happen to you.  Stop saying, “I can’t imagine,” and start saying, “I can.”  Or better yet, visualize.  Visualize success.  We do before each and every jump.  Stop visualizing defeat. 
            We train to be our best.  It’s tough sometimes.  Life is stressful.  Everyday tasks can take priority and then you falter, find excuses not to train, not to push through.
NO EXCUSES!
            You are the creator of your own destiny.  This life is yours.  You can make your dreams come true.  Don’t listen to those voices—maybe even your own inner ones—that tell you your dreams are too big, your goals irrelevant or impossible.  Don’t listen to the self doubts when you’re new at something.  Life is about learning.  We are always learning, always becoming.  Becoming stronger, smarter, better. 
            We conquer the skies.  What will you conquer?  Conquer your fears, your can’ts, your doubts; stand up to the enemy within.
            Dream wildly, dream beyond your wildest dreams.  Don’t say, “I never dreamed it was possible.”  Anything is possible.  Dare to dream.  Then, never stop pushing.  The question is not, “Where do you want life to take you?” but rather “Where do YOU want to take life?”
            We are ready.  Are you?

Get Bigger

My ribs after their rough encounter with the side of the tunnel I recently went to the wind tunnel in Raeford, North Carolina to perfect (ha!) my skydiving skills.  In classic Bobbi style, I not only do not arrive the proscribed thirty minutes early, I am over an hour late for my booked ten minutes, ten minutes I have been informed will be used by someone, not me, although I will be the one paying, if I'm not there, STAT!  So I run in, late and flustered, and get debriefed on the way in to the tunnel.  I struggle with my ear plugs as I shrug on my jumpsuit and then put my helmet on, yes, backwards at first as always.  Knee pads are in place and I have no idea what Greg is trying to tell me, something about crossing my arms, falling in, and grabbing the net once I get inside. Thank God I begin to doubt my ability to comprehend Greg's charades, and I ask him to clarify about grabbing the net.  Apparently, I am NOT supposed to grab it; he smacks my hands as ...

Making the Standards Explicit: North Carolina Standard Course of Study English II Guided Notes, Graphic Organizers

  When students are able to clearly articulate what they are learning and what they are expected to do, they will be more successful.  I have been teaching for 22 years, and I have found that it is helpful to begin each new unit of learning by emphasizing a focus standard.  We know that the ELA standards are artfully intertwined, but picking a standard or two to really emphasize helps me to be intentional about instruction and for students to know the purpose of their learning. I am currently teaching English II in North Carolina, and I am helping students prepare for the North Carolina Final Exam.  I have been developing slideshows, guided notes, and graphic organizers to help students understand the academic vocabulary of the tested standards as well as to help them analyze informational and literary texts in the 9-10 grade band. These resources are available individually or bundled on Teachers Pay Teachers .   Add a free copy of   RL.9.10.1 Lit...
