Every day I find myself questioning the many responsibilities imposed on me to deliver quality instruction. I yearn to do right by my students. I want them to look at the world through the same eyes I do; questioning, wondering, consumed with curiosity and delight.
Yet the dark dragon that looms over education destroying constructive thinking can no longer hold power over me! It is through the HPWP and my sisters/brothers in battle that I continue on my journey of self discovery as a teacher. I realize that it is with the support and encouragement of the Writing Project that I do not stand alone in this battle for children. Every one of us knows something important about our teaching and the ability to share that knowledge is priceless. The professional development that HPWP provides keeps our inquiry alive and thriving. Together we dwell on the positive aspects of teaching!

Cynthia,
I so agree with you. You expressed exactly how I feel about HPWP. I love the way you express how we need each other and we do have knowledge, but sometimes, especially if we think we are alone, we think we do not have the knowledge. Yes, it is organizations like HPWP that we find encouragement.
Thank you for share your feelings with us.
