It is what it is

It is what it is...this may be my mantra for the school year. We all need to vent sometimes, but the constant griping, complaining and whining I hear each day can really pull people down and usually does no good. It is what it is, or as my principal says, "put on your big girl panties and deal with it." Let me assure you it is not a dream situation to teach up to 10 classes a day at 3 schools over 35 minutes from home, but if I dwell on the logistics, I miss out on my purpose: to find a way for each of the 1000+ students I teach to connect with music. Let's do it!
