90. The Shortest Distance

I was so burnt out on test results - graphs and number charts - that I began to look at them as if they were just another piece of junk mail. Between Savannah and Sean's documents, my files were getting thicker by the week. I took the results as seriously as I knew how,  but every time I was forced to read and sign them, I felt defeated. Thankfully they didn't report life vs. death in the physical sense. Upon reading them they sure reminded me that I was emotionally vulnerable. I could blaze through the meetings and talk about the goals and proactive measures to close the gap between typical and atypical behavior, but at the end of the day I felt so small and inadequate. It hurt a lot to feel small. In spite of this hurt, I had to push through it. There was no way around it. My work was the most important of all. My heart had to get over it.
