Week 6: Finding My Way

I've had a hard time deciding what to write about this week. There are many small issues on my mind, but none that seem involved enough to write about on their own. I am becoming busier, with 2-3 students at every school, enough for me to have time to learn about these new cases and take time with them. It's good, at the beginning, not to feel rushed, and particularly so as a newbie. I am discovering the positive energy of working with parents and colleagues who know what you can do for children and believe you can make a difference; I am also learning the frustration of being rejected, mostly by parents who don't understand (or won't accept) their child's needs. I am still finding my place- I've always said I'll work anywhere as long as there are two chairs, but I've even had to adjust that temporarily. Hopefully this was the only week I end up in that situation. Overall, though, all is well. There are still things to be sorted out, but I am getting the hang of the position, and I have great support around me. I will find my way :)
