Are my expectations of myself unrealistic

After reading Amandas blog ‘High Expectations! Killing me slowly’ I reflected on my own expectations and yes I think I am also putting a lot of pressure on myself to achieve.  I don’t think that wanting to do your absolute best is a bad thing and wanting a great result from an assignment is unreasonable but what is unreasonable is how sick it makes me feel wanting a good result. When our results come in I feel physically sick clicking on the link and waiting to see the outcome, unfortunately I think it comes with the territory.

I’ve come to realise that I can’t take the feedback from the marker personally (but I do and I have to talk myself of the imaginary ledge I have climbed onto) and sadley I have had some harsh comments here and there.  They don’t know me, they don’t know how hard I work on absolutley every word I type and how much time I take away from my family to sweat over every detail in the hopes that I get it right and they think so too, it is their job.  I may not agree with some of the feedback I receive but it is what it is and I will never stop trying to be the best I can be.  I know how passionate I am to be a teacher and this is what drives me.  Keep your chins held high, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train.

Did you know you can reverse an image search, I didn’t.

The great site I mentioned in my last post Shake it up has now taught me something else and why not share it.  You may already know this but I didn’t and I’m going to go and try it out.

Instead of searching for an image you can actually use one you already have a do a search on it to find out more about it, what a great idea.  Following is a quick video to show you what I am talking about.

Shake it up, it sounds like a Taylor Swift song (I know it’s off not up)

Shake it up has a 4 part series called ‘The Golden Treasures of Google’.  This site has heaps of great information and videos to watch.  One video which caught my eye was called ‘Made with Code’.  ‘Made with Code’ is a program created to “close the gender gap in the programming industry” as it is male dominated, and allow for girls and young women to be given exciting and fun ways to learn how to code. It is not just the programming industry which is primarily male but it is a step in the right direction. Please watch the following video to help you understand what the program is about.
