What Janine lacks in height she makes up for in heart! Janine might still be finding her footing in the classroom, but no one doubts her dedication to her students.
If you're a Janine, you're probably in a transformational moment in your life (and suffering through a few growing pains...). But don't worry, you don't have to go through it alone. You've got elders like Barbara and peers-turned-friends(-turned lovers...?) like Gregory by your side.
Look, just because you're the in top slot doesn't mean you have to take yourself so seriously!
Some might accuse Ava of shirking her duties as principal, but she shows up and shows out for her staff when it really counts. And the rest of the time? That's just her prioritizing her self-care. It's called work-life balance, tell you're friends to get some! You're an Ava if you do what needs to be done at work but conserve most of your energy for living free and fabulous off the clock.
It might take folks a minute to really get know you, but once they do, you immediately become one of their favorite people with your offbeat sense of humor and caring nature.
Being a Gregory is about more than being particular about your lunch order. Maybe you're someone who got teased as a kid for being what other's precieved as a little weird, so as an adult you've chosen to remain privated about your personal life and your preferences. But once you feel safe and supported, you begin to warm up and open up to people. Letting them into your life — and if they're lucky — into your heart too.
Some folks might try to reduce you to your role at work and those folks would be foolish — you're so much more than what you do for a check!
Mr. Johnson takes his role keeping the halls clear and bathrooms functioning seriously because the kids matter to him just as much as they matter to their teachers — it takes a village to raise a child and to teach a child. However, catch Mr. Johnson in the breakroom and he'll regale you with a story from one of his many past lives (but catch him off-guard and he might be a bit more mysterious about what he's up to...).
You're a Mr. Johnson if you live life in moment and aren't afraid to follow your interests wherever they may lead you. Titles and accolades to mean much to you, but experiences do.
You're a veteran in the game!
Barbara is widely respected as a teacher, as she should be, she's put in the time! And while this does mean she's particular about how things are done, she's just as likely to offer guidance to rookies and take newbies like Janine under her wing. She's willing to fight the good fight for her students and whethers the personalities of parents like a pro.
You're a Barbara if you love what you do and are still reaching new heights in your profession despite already being the cream that has risen to the top!
