One of my biggest goals
this year was to improve
on work/life balance,
however, I have not been
successful in this.
Teaching takes up most
of my time and any free
time I have is dedicated
to finishing assignments
for this program, thus I
still have no time for
myself. Hopefully I am
able to find a better
balance next semester
(11/28/33)

This year was especially

tough as my husband
and I lost his
grandmother. It is tough
taking days off from
work because I know my
students need me but I
had to balance my
familial needs with my
professional
responsibilities. I took
bereavement leave
which helped maintain
the quality of teaching
because it gave me time
and space to grieve.
