Dear Teacher

Dear Teacher,

A great teacher is one whom a student remembers and cherishes forever. Thanks for being a great teacher! You've taught me so much about staying grounded and trusting every plan of the Lord for me. Thanks for being ever patient. (no matter how many mistakes we make and no matter how many times you need to explain) Not all teachers value his students, understand them, and most of all, discipline them in such a way that the student really learns.

I really admire your passion and dedication in what you do - all your hard work, sacrifices, and enormous efforts for the class. (and how you can always make the class fun, how you ensure us of our behavior, and remind us of the things we need to do) Though some people think you're over doing things, I believe it is well a good thing too that you've high expectations because it encourages us to always work and give our best, as well. I love how you can always develop strong relationships with us and how we can always trust you with anything.

I wouldn't have reached great heights without your help, Teacher! Many thanks to YOU! Keep smiling as it is really contagious, it encourages us, too! I am really glad to have been given the opportunity to be your student.

❤,
Michele :)

Behind The Blog

You know that moment when you're looking for something that's just around the corner? (When you're looking for your phone when it's just in your pocket? Or when you thought you've lost a memory that you can never ever go back to when it's just in your mind?) Well, I've been looking for things to write about, and I thought, why not share how I came up with my blog address and title? After all, everything I post here goes with it.

As I have mentioned on my former blog post, this blog would be about me, myself, and I. In simpler terms, it’s kind-of-a-personal-blog-thing. That’s basically one of the reasons why my blog address is “THEcheleashley” (Yes, it makes me want to gag myself to be identified as “THE MICHELE ASHLEY.”) Because I believe sharing a part of me, of who I really am, is the essence of this. For in life, there’s no ordinary person. Everybody is extra-ordinary and this is me – MICHELE ASHLEY.

And I quote the words of Wayne Dyer, "When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way." This best explains why my blog is entitled “Step into the Rhythm.” You see, the melody represents life and whatever the rhythm may be, I go on with the flow. Yes. Change is a constant thing in this world, but it's one of the many great things we can learn in life. Change in music, change in style, change is inevitable, but I'm here to stay. I'm here to step into the rhythm. Lalala J
