With a new school year comes the sense of being overwhelmed almost on a daily basis. We struggle to fit all the pieces into a puzzle that sometimes doesn’t allow them to all fit. With a freshman and seventh grader myself, I have a new schedule to adapt to. In searching for a quote for this week, I came across several that simply hit home. The very first one was, “Burnout is not about being too busy or feeling overwhelmed... it’s feeling like your work has no purpose and you don’t have support.” There have been many times I have felt this. It could be something caused from impostor syndrome, something I have been told by many that I have. However, it’s the support that I do have that keeps me going! We all hit a brick wall from time to time, but it is the reminder that we have others to lean on and when we reach that wall, we simply need to stop, unplug for a few minutes/days/etc. and reboot. We are the authors of our own stories and sometimes we simply need to end a chapter and start a fresh one.
Now, someone remind me of this if you see me running from event to event unsure where I am going. The Wunderlichs are starting their era of being at a sporting event three-four nights a week. Good luck to all area students! Whether it be athletic or academic, I’m excited to see the success you have in your endeavors. Robin Wunderlich Quote of the Week
