It is a fine line between mental illness and real illusions.

Make your own conclusion after finish reading this.

Reminds me of "Minds of Billy Milligan"
But milder.

See Me After Class - Roxanna Elden


"This book is meant to keep you from getting discouraged when it seems like all those fabulous ideas you learned in training don't work in your own classroom."
"This book is NOT chicken soup for the teacher's soul. It's more like hard liquor for the teacher's soul, because new teachers need something stronger than chicken soup."
"But we need you to stay on your job, and stay sane."

An awesome read. And I am only on chapter 3.
As a teacher, this books will make you feel better knowing there are teachers who have been there, done that, EXACTLY like what you are going through now. That's the awesome part, EXACTLY like what I am going through now. Hence, it is giving me good humour knowing that what I am going through is not just my problem but nearly every new teacher as well. I am terrible, but I am not "specially" terrible. I am not that good at doing a bad job, so don't be so emo about being bad. There are WORSE cases.
It is like reading a diary of your own story, just written by someone else, which makes it really funny as well.

Love it~!

The Book of Lost Things

Credits: http://creativityscorner.blogspot.com/
What if stories were real? What if books whispers in your ears, telling you their history and the stories they contain within?
What if YOU are the story?
A book that touches on emotions and how they can come to life. Lovely plot that keeps you wanting to journey more into the story with the main character, David. A story of his lose and what he thought he lost. Grow with the character along his path to find his way home.

Verdict: 4/5
