I was mentally exhausted at Christmas I think because of everything I had to leave behind at Verbena. That was one of the most challenging moments of my career having such issues arise when I was trying to leave. I guess that was God just making sure I was where I was needed most at the moment.
But I am tired. I forget how much you have to eat in this profession. As I learn about the students and the issues that they face, the more it eats at me. The more that I start to loose sleep. Counseling is not for the faint of heart and at time I think it has hardened me and taken some of the joy out of me. Then there are moments where I see the increased Work Keys scores and I'm just thrilled with what a little encouragement can do.

I got to take a group of sophomores on a tour of the career tech center Monday. All seven of them. No one told me that the kids couldn't just hop the bus like they did in Chilton County, so my first solo assembly did not go so well, I took seven kids.
The new Britney has officially arrived, and she is a Britney. She's fun and loves pink and flamingos. She got here last Wednesday, and we've been trying to gear up for Work Keys. She's never been in high school before, she's straight out of the classroom in middle school world, so we shall rise to the challenge. I've also not been feeling so hot. I think the last six weeks have exhausted me. It's been harder to do than I thought its as going to be, but everything is going well. As soon as we get done with Work Keys I have a scholarship meeting to get ready for. I'm excited about that, but it has been really really hard trying to gather scholarship information from the kiddos. Brittney did that a whole lot different than I did, but we are starting to figure it all out. |
