2018 is almost upon us, and so it is time for my annual reflection on the year. I would say in comparison to past years, not much was accomplished. I finished my 3rd year of teaching and went into my 4th year, constantly improving and working on sharpening my craft and getting better at it. Though my teaching skills aren’t that great, I think my relationship building skills with students have improved dramatically.
In terms of tangible improvements over the course of the year, I finalized my Master’s Program. I also live in a townhouse with a couple of new roommates now who are super down to earth, in a less shadier area of town. Other than that, there’s not that many changes that have happened. I’m hoping 2018 will bring more changes, more experiences, and more happiness – I’m hoping next year’s project will lend itself greatly to those efforts.
Throughout the course of Project 26, I have had a series of favorite posts I would recommend everyone to read, since reading every post can prove itself futile and potentially a waste of time.
