10/6 Chef Elissa

Question of the Week October 6:
 "You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try."
In my meeting with my admin this week they asked me do you feel pressured. I said yes! They said by who and my res ponce was "ME." This is so true as a perfectionist I wear myself thin trying to finish Everything on my to do list. I need to often step back and remember that I do teach 190 students, I do try to cook everyday, but I am HUMAN! I need sleep, I need social interaction, I need family time. I do try my hardest at everything I do and I always feel I can do better. I am not the teacher nor the person to just make it by...I never have been. It is very hard for me when things are "out of my control" I tend not to believe that often... I can do it and I will. Lately I have been trying to back off of that because I know when I become a mother in February MANY things I will not be able to control. I just put in for my last day at school to be February 6th and I am due February 7th. I will make it through my last week of school.......right..... Determination is one thing, and knowing yourself is another. I can do all things I put my mind to but will I loose my mind while doing it ha. I feel like an octopus with many hands in different things being pulled in too many directions.
