Almost there

Sometimes I do not give myself enough credit. I am usually pretty hard on myself. I have some great traits but it’s those bad ones that I like to focus on and improve. Not because I have “the glass is half-full” kind of attitude but because I am always trying to better myself. Sometimes I don’t take time to realize what my recent accomplishments are.

I keep finding myself dwelling on the fact that I am now bringing home $400 a paycheck. It’s hard not to compare that to other people who are the same age. Often what I forget to realize is how far I have come in the educational aspect of my life. I have almost done a 360-degree turn in my career goals (office worker to teacher). There have been a lot of baby steps on this path and so often the small accomplishments are overlooked. I have less than 4-months to go. That in it’s self is amazing since I’ve been on this quest to be a teacher since the fall of 2004. And the best part is I’ve been so happy these past 4-weeks. It’s been amazing!

I think this deserves a reward!!!! ;-)
