This was something that I wasn’t particularly looking forward to – my mother and sister however, who both lay claim to ambition, kept looking at me like I had lost a nerve. No, it’s not that I am … LOL! Okay, scratch that – I am really not ambitious. Yeah, there I said it. (Dang! I digress way too much!!). The truth of the matter is I was scared, I did not want to assume a new role when I was still learning the ropes of the one that I was currently in. And so between September 1st and October 8th, I walked dreading the impending doom that was certain to befall me.

My two week tenure started on the 9th of October, the year of our lord 2015 (wait, is that how they say it?). There I was slightly terrified of making a mistake and yet almost certain that I would. You know that feeling of inferiority? The one that wraps it self around you and gives off the allure of timidity. This is really why I do not like it when people say, “Bambi” in my direction – it is an almost assured affirmation that my inner deeply seated fears have risen to the surface. (Again! With the digressing!).

There are a couple of lessons that I have learned in these past two weeks – Lessons about myself that few other opportunities would have afforded me.

I am certain, that the learning is not over. I am certain that wherever we go, wherever God allows our feet – our intellect – our dreams to lead us, there will be a whole mountain of things to learn. Walking into situations with an I-have-done-it-all attitude is a sure way to miss that other-thing-that-you-might-never-have-done-before.

In short, I am glad my tenure is over!!
