Identifying challenges

The biggest challenge that I foresee is definitely time.  In addition to my full-time job responsibilities, I sponsor the Spanish Club and I find it hard to tell students that it is time to go home.  I like to offer tutoring before and after school to accommodate students who work and have practice before or after school.  I also like to do what I can to please parents who want to have conferences at special times.  Like everybody else, I have to make family time, have prior commitments, and have to complete my internship plan.  I will address these challenges by keeping a timeline that I will commit to no matter what.  I’m not the type of person that likes to do everything at the last minute.  I like to have time to think/reflect about what I’m doing.  I will look at things that I can reschedule and go for quality instead of quantity when it comes to spending time with family.  I will have to end Spanish club meetings at 1700 and go back to only two days of tutoring.

Looking at challenges during one of our discussions helped to take action now so that I am not struggling at the end.  It is one thing to say, there is not enough time to do this and that and it's a different thing to look at it and take action by making the appropriate changes now.
