Re: Burnt out

More | Report Post

Do not quit! Take one or two days and get yourself together
by relaxing or doing something that you enjoy to break the
school mode temporarily. It is very important that you
finish what you have started. You are young. You tend to
wander and need an immediate full-fillment but good things
come when one achieves accreidation. You must be patience.
In the Montessori profession, many directors/directresses
have more than one degree and several areas of speciality
such as special education and the like as an area of focus.
Acquire all the necessary tools, experiences and training as
much as possible now because you have the time to do so.
