Today marks my one year anniversary at Hillview. It has been one long [challenging, fun, emotional, discouraging, empowering, completely crazy] year. I was trying to decide what to write about today because a year is a lot to sum up. I decided to sum it up in ten.
Ten things I learned at Hillview (in no particular order):
1. How to file a missing persons report. Over. And over. And over again.
2. How to cook for ten people.
3. How to love someone who the day/hour/even minute before was cursing your existence on this earth.
4. How to open a locked door in the dark.
5. How to become a better decision-maker, especially in crisis situations.
6. The impact of my attitude.
7. How to stay calm when things are crazy.
8. That I have female authority issues.
9. That I'm addicted to Starbucks (or perhaps, my job caused an addiction to Starbucks).
10. That a 22-year old can look good in a mini-van. Oh yes, I do.
:: Thank you Hillview for a crazy year of growth and new experiences ::
Congratulations!! One year is quite an achievement, especially with much of what you have had to deal with. I'm glad you have stuck it out. :)
