- I teach 8th grade English full-time
- Coach soccer (V/JV) in a volunteer capacity
- I give voice lessons twice a week to prepare a student for the Fall musical
- I tutor a student once a week on their essay-writing skills
- I advise the middle school worship band to prep them for MS youth group
- I help lead the soccer team's Life Group (accountability/bible study-ish thing)
- I juggle a multitude of emails and meetings that are fired on me every day (which could almost be a full-time job)
- Create lesson plans, grade assignments, and figure out ways to keep my students awake
- and somewhere in between the cracks, I try to have a social life. It hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping it hasn't disappeared completely.
Life is stretched so thin, I don't have time to muster any energy or motivation to be a real asset to students, co-workers, or even myself.
Lesson to be learned:
Just.
Say.
No.
Just.
Say.
No.
