Thing 2

After viewing the 7 1/2 Habits on-line tutorial, I discovered habit 1 to be the easiest for me. Habit 1 states "Begin with the end in mind." I need to know what it is that I want to learn. After knowing what I want to learn (and how bad I want to learn it), the other habits will fall into place. For example, I always wanted to learn how to swim. This spring I made my mind up that it was time to learn. I set a goal and have been working towards that goal. I am not there yet, but I can see the end in sight.

The hardest habit for me would be 3. Habit 3 states "View problems as challenges." When a problem arises, it's hard to see it as a challenge or learning opportunity. I tend to see problems as a sign or an omen. I know, I know, it sounds funny. But right away, I start thinking, "Maybe I'm not supposed to be doing this." I'll have to work at it.

About Me

My photo
Is it possible for one person to be many things? First off, I am a wife. I married the most wonderful man in the world on January 17, 2009. His name is Victor. We are currently enjoying our time getting to know each other even more as husband and wife. I am a daughter. My parents have been happily married for 41 years. Their names are Cutberto and Esther. I am a sister. I have the most amazing pair of sisters. Their names are Maria and Minerva. I also have 3 brothers whose names are Ramiro, Cutberto, and Orlando. I am the youngest of the six! I am an aunt. I have 5 nephews and 5 nieces. I am a teacher. I teach 2nd grade and love it. I teach bilingual (Eng/Span) education, self-contained. Those kids can always make you smile! I am a student. In January 2009 I began the Masters in Library Science program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I am enjoying my classes very much. You wouldn't believe how much I have grown and learned in the past 6 months. Which brings me to my last "I am"... I am an aspiring librarian. I have always wanted to be one. I would like to find a job in the district that I work in now, but we shall see where God will take me!
