Midterm thoughts


I struggle. I try. I wish I could get more done, and do what I can. After all these years, you would think I would feel differently, but in some ways the bar gets higher and the questions more difficult. I want the classes to reach to all the students. I want them all to succeed and it seems that my years and skills should make this possible....I do have to accept that I can only prepare and present and encourage. In the end, the students must do the work and the failure or success is their own. As it should be....

Can I be centered as I accept what I can do and what I can not do?
