What’s the music inside you?
Lame, right? I mean c’mon, this question made me think of the Nsync song about the music of the heart but after I finished singing the song in my head (and humming out loud), I began to consider the real message. What’s your passion? Remember that expression about doing something you love and never working a day in your life? That’s what we’re talking about! What’s the one thing you love to do and would do even if no one was paying you? For me, I thought about the environments of early childhood classrooms. I would LOVE the chance to rearrange, repurpose, and redecorate early childhood classrooms. It’s one of my passions! I often do it with classroom teachers while visiting and just begin making simple suggestions and before you know it the entire room has changed and the behavior problems that once were the center of every team meeting have disappeared and now we can focus on the actual learning. That’s my education music. I also have some scrapbook music in there as well; I could spend an entire day scrapbooking without batting an eye. And blogging… it’s no secret that I love to blog and even if no one else reads it, to me it’s a simple way to document my growth. An online journal, if you will, that helps me in my journey of reflection.

What’s the music inside you? Go ahead, sing the NSync song, and then answer the question. ;)
