I am thankful that today was the last day for Reflections entries! Running this program is so much work. I am excited (and thankful!) that more students entered this year than last year. There are several projects that look good. I hope the students, or at least some of them, are getting something out of it. I think Reflections is valuable, but motivating these kids can be hard. Amelia almost didn’t enter, which was absolutely driving me crazy. The big volunteer thing I do for her school and she didn’t participate?! But then she threw three projects together at the last minute. I was relieved, because I had almost felt like she was disrespecting me (not quite the right term) before. However, I was a little disappointed because I felt she could have done a much better project if she’d spent more time on it.
It is very, very difficult for me not to be a mother who overmanages everything.
Having a husband who is great at excel is great. The only thing that would be better would be if I were really good at excel!
