I’d say that this particular Monday was a successful one. I am learning more and more about the cycle and how I can overcome its obstacles. I had my first mentee session today, and I wasn’t nervous at all. I knew what I wanted to do going in and I learned more about my mentee than I used to. However the stress comes in with my skill. I just can’t seem to come up with a skill that would be exciting for me to learn. By far it is the most difficult obstacle I have right now, and I need a skill soon. Luckily I have almost all day tomorrow (thanks to school being cancelled but because I go to a Charter school we have online class) I can think whilst doing cycle requirements. I have exactly 50 pages left on my book, and then I’ll be essay free for a little while. I feel as if I am both ahead but also behind at the same time. I just wonder to myself, “why is that?” I hope it’s not too late to recognize this…….
