Fellow teacher here! During my first 5 years or so teaching, I was so sensitive to negative feedback. Comments were overwhelmingly positive but I’d really wince at negative comments. I’ve grown a thicker skin since then, and more importantly I’ve come to believe in myself and I know I’m good at what I do. So, experience and confidence.

I think it’s more that Trump behaved exactly as we’re used to seeing him. He lied, he was combative, etc but nothing new there. Biden’s performance was truly alarming, as in it wasn’t clear if he’d even be able to finish the debate. I agree that Trump should be raked over the coals daily by the media because he’s talking like early 1930’s Hitler. But the level of concern over Biden’s performance is warranted, and I appreciate journalists not trying to downplay this.

I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I’d go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn’t have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

My favorites:

• Breath of the Wild
• Tears of the Kingdom
• A Link to the Past
• Chrono Trigger
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons
• Sim Park
• Donkey Kong Country
• Mario All Stars
• Mario Paint
• Super Mario World
