Habit 4 is probably the easiest to me. I have always had confidence in myself, and feel as though I can be effective in learning (and then teaching) new concepts with ease. I believe I am a natural leader, and have been evaluated several times by university professors and administration who echo the same ideas. The WAY I lead must be key to me, as students will imitate my direction. I believe this must force me to always show the students that I am always eager to learn new tricks, open to new ideas, and ready for challenges so that they will work to do the same.
Habit 7 1/2 is actually the hardest for me. My classroom is sometimes chaotic, but it's ordered chaos. I feel that at the middle school level, there needs to be quite a bit of structure. At the same time, I believe I need to work to find a balance there, and allow students time to do what all middle school students miss most about elementary school: play time.
