In Search of The Light...

Sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted. Life has been so busy that getting the bare minimum done is hard enough. I should probably be in bed right now, seeing as I have to be at the field at 9am for practice...yay homecoming. Speaking of marching band, wow...Dr. Creasap has been at her all time high for NOT being professional. She makes practice so much more difficult then it has to be, and that means we the band are miserable, it's the never ending circle of negativity! Also, since I'm V.P. for CMENC I get more of her. At the beginning of this semester she reamed us for not doing our jobs and how we should change the organization. Now, she was correct in us changing the organization so we did...but we can't reach that last step because she is dragging her feet! It took her 2 weeks to finish the 53 membership forms...all she had to do was sign her name! CMENC is planning on doing a fall festival so we had to have Dr. Creasap approve the plans. She got the plans on Monday or Tuesday, and then she was supposed to pass them on to Dr. Mcbride or send them back to be fixed. Thursday comes along and we didn't hear back from her, so Jenn (El Presidente!) went to Dr. Mcbride to ask for a room to keep the equipment we are borrowing for this festival. She got to his office and started asking him about it, and he was clueless to what we were doing. So Jenn went to Emily Robinson to ask her why they wanted Jenn to go to Dr. Mcbride when he didn't have the proposal. Yea, turned out Dr. Creasap still hadn't looked at it yet, and when Jenn asked her about it Dr. Creasap was pissy and said she was too busy to work on that. Right, so as an educator we are to put ourselves before our students? Or, we are supposed to worry about how other faculty members view us, and it doesn't matter what our students think about us? I know Dr. Creasap is a very busy person, but we only had marching band once that week! That's almost 2 hours at the end of Monday, and Friday that she had. What did she do, sit on her hands! If she ever wonders why people don't respect her it's because she doesn't show her students respect. It doesn't matter how hard she tries to impress the faculty, I believe the faculty won't respect her because of what they hear their students say. If any person out there reads this and is an education major of some sort, please always keep your students first, they are your legacy you leave, doesn't matter how many trophies you win, how much money you make, or how much respect you get from your peers. How you influence that child, be it good or bad, is the most important thing you do...so how are you influencing people???
