I used to have difficulty asking for help.  It's helpful to understand that you're not in it alone, and there are multiple support structures available.  My first teaching job did not have a mentor program, so I did seek out a mentor on my own.  It was extremely beneficial in navigating my first year.  

I've always believed that this is a 24/7 vocation - in addition to social media, I'm aware of who is around me at a restaurant or running into a student in public.  I've had teacher firends tell me that they are intitled to their personal life...while this may be the case, care must be taken in creating boundaries.  

There are many more components to CTE curriculum than I realized.  I enjoyed the history, and I want to spend more time studying the High Quality CTE POS Framework document
