Hopes, Fears, Opportunities

I have been asked to share my hopes, fears and opportunities for the coming year and beyond.
So, here goes.
My hopes and what I wish to achieve this year and after graduation.
First, I'd like to graduate with my desired mark, that is the main aim for this year, after graduation I am hoping to go on and do some teacher training, but I'm still not sure of the specifics.
That was the aim two years ago when I joined the course to be fair but the closer it gets the more important it has become.
Beyond that the hope is to actually go on and teach, possibly at high school level, and continuing to practise and develop my own work around that.
my career choices have been swayed by wanting to secure a happy future for my young family and being a Dad my children are proud off. this was the incentive for joining the course in the first place.

My Fears and what is worrying me about this year, and beyond graduation
I don't have any real fears beyond failing the course, I am confident that I will see it through, but whether I will achieve my desired mark is another thing, that is really my only worry.
throughout the duration of our course we have been repeatedly told, we will get the mark we deserve, so I decided I was going to deserve the mark I want, that way if I don't achieve my desired target, I cant point the finger anywhere but at myself.
So I have approached this year with a new more determined than ever attitude and renewed vigour.
That's pretty much all of it, in way of fears other than the usual snakes and clowns thing anyway.

Opportunities and which events have good potential for me this year, I am of the thinking that every day carries potential it just depends on what you do with the day.
I recently made the mistake of non holding, networking and contacting practitioners as something of major importance as I want to go on and teach and not Illustrate as a career, well full time nine to five anyway.
Within days of coming to that assumption I was proved wrong when I received much assistance, advice and inspiration from practitioners I had contacted and those I had spoken to already.
This led me to realise.
Opportunities rise all the time and as long as I see them when they do I can make the most of them and I suppose that will happen by keeping an open mind.

Well that is my thoughts on fears, hopes and opportunities.
