Weight lifted...

Walking out of that office today I had a huge smile on my face and was so proud that I finally stepped over and through the hurdle that has been standing in front of me for five years. I don't really want to go into the situation in this forum but let's just say my classroom was becoming a place that I wasn't thrilled to go to and that is very unlike me. You are who you surround your self by. If those people are negative, don't strive for anything past what they have already achieved, if they don't have goals, if they're are unhappy with their lives or something in their life...you start to become that. The more you surround yourself by these people the more you become these people. Do the opposite and the opposite will happen for you. I may sound like a cheesey "quote of the day" but I know it from experience. I look forward to September (with some sadness and hesitation as any mother who works to leave my Babushka) knowing that I have paved this new road myself (with the help and advice and practice from some people - thanks you know who you are!)
