This piece made me smile. I struggled making the transition from day-to-day sub to full time teacher this year. Now I can remember: I'm the boss, Applesauce. “I am still kind of a door mat, but the area to walk on is getting smaller everyday.”

A very wise teacher once told me that it takes about three years to begin to feel and behave like a real teacher. It comes at that point when other teachers no longer matter and only the work, the students, the measuring stick that we set for ourselves become important to us. It's true, You are the boss, Applesauce. We’ve all been there. A very wise teacher once told me that it takes about three years to begin to feel and behave like a real teacher.
