My Goal

My new goal (besides losing those few extra pounds from Christmas..thank you Erin) is to reread Overcoming Dyslexia by Dr. Sally Shaywitz. I feel so bad that I have a skill that can benefit so many adults and children and I have neglected it for the last year. I loved volunteering at the school and teaching the kids because I didn't feel a lot of pressure to know everything there is to know about dyslexia. Parents weren't hiring me, I was just volunteering my time. Regardless if I volunteer or get paid, I need to get busy reviewing things that I have since forgotten. Mario of course would like me to get paid, but I feel it is better for me to serve those kids whose parents couldn't afford help any other way. Maybe there is a good middle ground and I need to find it.

Hopefully by writing it down, I will feel motivated to start right away. Really all I need to do is remember the joy I felt when the teachers would come tell me how much their students were improving because of the tutoring.
