This month has been both a defeat and a triumph as an instructor; as soon as you think you know it all, there is something that will knock you back and bring on a dose of humility back.  Fortunately,  the feedback from the class participants provided the realization that it is not about me but about the community that I am serving!  This realization was also made evident last spring when I felt that I had deserved to win a service award.  I experienced disappointment and yes, bitterness afterwards.  Again, in reflection, there was conviction in my attitude towards the work that I do here-I needed to have a heart check and make sure of the reason I am here.  Is it just for myself and my own satisfcation or am I here to serve...
