Burned out, or vacation-deprived?
I sit here today wondering if I need to seriously re-think my career. Is this really what I am best at? I work hard, sometimes even being a circus act, in order to entertain, educate, and make sure everyone is having fun while learning. Yet people still drop out because they 'don't want to work' or 'don't want to practice'. Where are the parents that teach their kids that hard work is part of life, and that's how you accomplish things? I know my parents would have never allowed me to quit something just because I was lazy...especially something I was successful at. This whole new mindset of letting the kids be as lazy or as motivated as they choose is runing my job. I think maybe I am a little burned out? It's hard to look forward to another season or another year and face the huge amouts of work involved in order to make it a success, and have no one appreciate it. The kids take it all for granted, the administration couldn't care less...*sigh*
OK, so maybe I just need a break, a vacation from all of this. We'll see how I feel in another month.
Maybe it's just the cold, gloomy weather that is affecting me. It should be 75 and sunny!!!! Instead it is 55 and cloudy, breezy, cold. I want my sunshine and my heat...waaaah!
You know, but it's the group of students that bust their butts working on stuff for this group that make everything worthwhile. And it's the students who are just plain fun to be around that make my job a blast.
