From a career standpoint, each one of us is lucky to forge on another career path- all made possible by NTI. We have to wear many hats every day. Some hats fit better than others. I have learned one thing in the past year as a new teacher and NTI student, husband, father, coach- strive for and enjoy the small victories you achieve. We get caught up in the grand scheme of things. Those small victories go unnoticed amid our hectic schedules. Find a small victory to cherish at the end of your day, and have that “win” propel you into tomorrow. (I didn’t mean to sound like a self-help guru, but a little NTI soup for the soul never hurt anyone. I’m counting the days until winter break, too.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877245983834805185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-90774379522371746272013-10-14T13:40:07.788-04:002013-10-14T13:40:07.788-04:00Hi Chris,

Between going to school, teaching, and coaching--I am worn out. When I was working in the school as a School Resource Officer, I used to look at teachers and think, I can do that job and be off in the summers. My wife always said it isn't as easy as you think it is...boy, was I mistaken. This is the hardest job ever--dodging bullets was much easier and believe it or not, a lot less stressful. I realize teachers need multiple breaks to keep them from quitting. It is a very rewarding job, but man, it is tough. Hang in there, Christmas will be here before you know it!<br /><br />JTAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407131858618914963noreply@blogger.com
