I really can’t say that I have an “issue” with the teaching profession. I think the biggest thing for me is to get my self all the way organized, get better at staying on top of things, and improving my time management. While coming from industry to education I can honestly say that it is a world of difference and there is more to this than meets the eye. I can say that the above mentioned things would help me to be a better teacher and professional. However it doesn't happen over night. There are times that I think that I got one thing under control and here comes something else before I can get to the next thing. Can it be overwhelming? YES!!! But, it can be done it just requires a little more than sometimes were willing to give. Now as a disclaimer, I can only speak for myself because we are all different and at different levels and there are always other factors that impact how much of ourselves we are willing to invest. However, I will say that we all have a commitment to those students who walk through our doors everyday with an expectation to learn and get the best out of us whether we’re up to it or not. As for me, I am far from satisfied I feel like there is more for me to do so that I can give them the best of me because they deserve it and they need it.

Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life. ~Henry L. Doherty
