I have to take a minute to reflect on the last couple of weeks.  My new job has had me feeling all types of ways.  I have been feeling anxious, nervous,  ill-prepared, frustrated, annoyed and probably at least a dozen other types of emotions all in the span of about three weeks.  However, yesterday I was reminded that in the face of all these other (sometimes not so great) emotions I have a constant feeling of satisfaction.  Satisfaction that i'm doing my best every time I go to work and every time I interact with the kids.  It literally makes everything worth it when you get to make them laugh, or teach them something as small as a new word, or just to see them comfortable in the moment.  My life has seriously been a frenzy of tests, papers, work, SDSU exams and transcripts, NO sleep but I can't forget to be so incredibly  grateful to Him for giving me an opportunity to move forward and to grow.  I cannot thank my family enough for being so supportive and not taking it personal when i'm in a bad mood because i'm tired.  And I am so lucky to have an amazing group of friends that are happy for my new journey and are understanding in the reasons why I can't see them right now as much as I want to.  All of these people make this transition easier.  All of their support means the world to me.  And I have to constantly remind myself that it is when I am most uncomfortable and out of my element that I will grow.  Thank you ♥

You can't start getting lazy when you have the finish line within sight. Gotta stay motivated, dedicated and focused.

What is Spring Break?

When it hits you that this week you will be working 4 double shifts and 1 triple shift -__-

I have to be thankful for the Tuesday beach day I got to enjoy yesterday and I have to be grateful for the new opportunities I am being given and this new journey I am about to begin.

I just hope that somewhere in there I get to find some time to sleep!
