"Learn to Shine Bright" was all about the importance of self-care for teachers. The entire time I was watching, I wished that I had seen this years ago, when I was struggling the most as a teacher. I left he classroom, took time off, and reflected on where I wanted to go in my lifetime. Kelly Hopkinson said that self-care as teachers is most important to moving mountains in the profession, IF we can all collectively dedicate ourselves in doing it - balancing work and home life, putting ourselves first. Now, I am again a teacher, in a new role outside of the classroom, have a family at home that remains my priority, and can finally appreciate the profession because it isn't my WHOLE life, just an important part.
