I find myself becoming more and more involved with my school community, however, I feel that at times, I am also suffocating myself with my job.  Whether it is advising a class or a club, coaching, or any other extra curricular, I feel like I usually pick up the slack where others just don’t want to.  When the new year starts, I am going to work on saying no, not to everything but certain projects, that I know will consume too much of my time.  I hope that this can help me to become a better teacher, coach, adviser, or whatever my title may be.
