1) Be the best ____ I can be.
2) Build community
3) Look into a Doctorate
4) Have a plan for the summer.
I'd say it was a successful year.
1) It's hard to measure #1 quantitatively, but I believe the year went well. The others are simpler.
2) I know more people. I recognize them in different places.
3) I looked. I took the GRE. I did not move beyond that, though.
4) Beach week, Camp Nana and Pop, Mike and Carrie getaway...There was a plan!
There were a lot of big events: Finishing my 2nd year of wrestling with a new HS coach, Carrie's career switch, Nib's birth, Mira's passing, trailer and truck adventures, Korra, Captain, tons of trips including the beach, SC twice, a Mike and Carrie date get away, trying new sports (t-ball and basketball), Shane learning how to ride his bike....the list goes on (That helps explain why I have so many blog posts).
Goals for the upcoming year (2018):
1) Take my next career steps.
- Renew license (every 5 years)
- Figure out the whole PhD or EdD thing. Apply if it looks like a good fit.
- Part time at a community college? I think I'm already qualified, but busy.
3) Summer Camp for Shane this summer. He's not old enough for a sleep away, but he should try a day camp.
4) Stabilize horses - Largely on Carrie. I'd like to get a stable situation with her riding and training regularly. She loves her equines and they're good for her.
5) Work on Bible verse and language acquisition - Maybe I'll write them in Spanish.
6) Continue to grow wrestling in the city - I'll run the Elementary program again and see if I can keep growing the Middle School program in a healthy manner. An assistant coach would help at some point.....and I need to figure out uniforms. I never did this year.
7) Travel - It's good for Shane and good for memories.
