During the past 4 months, I’ve noticed that I’ve really created a method of “me.” That means, I see people getting used to how Michele does things on her own terms. Some of these “reflections” I’m getting have caused me to rethink how I function, others have made me feel much better about what I’m about. I still worry-a lot-about what people think of me and trying to be a pleaser, but I allow my stubbornness to come out more, especially when I feel very strongly about something in my career. So….my terms….with training wheels.

A Fulbright

It’s not a goal I am focusing on at all, but while looking at opportunities to gain Master’s credits in a non-trad way, I researched a Fulbright Teaching Assistant Scholarship. Who knows…I like Costa Rica, Argentina, or France.

What’s the threshold for working at something to help it along? I’m not so sure anymore. You see, my plan, to just stop worrying so much has been working-a relief, really. But now it seems, there are opportunities like tiny little sprouts in a garden. Do I let it grow-water it and all that, or pull it like a weed and not let it go anywhere? Dumb analogy, but sheesh. Come on already! I just want to not have to THINK about this stuff right now.
