Specific
Outcomes/Achievements
The achievements Id like to
accomplish include growing from my
mistakes and learning where I go next.
I need to take each scenario and reflect
on what went well and what didnt go
well and make the necessary changes.
I need to MOVE on after a decision or
situation. I cannot beat myself up over
my choices. Accept the things you
cannot change, change the things you
can, and have the ability to know the
difference serenity prayer
Not worrying about what other people
think of me is my most desired
outcome.
Knowing that I did what was in the
best interest of the students after each
decision made.
Recognizing its not about me

Gathering

and write down
things that went
well
Keep the saying
Its not about
me in my
office
somewhere so I
can stay
