Mentorship Update. What I have learned being a teacher for only a few weeks

While it is only a few weeks, teaching and mentoring has already had an incredible effect on me.

• 1st. I now have a much better sleep routine. While it does feel like I have less time, I feel like the usage of that time is put to much better use.
• 2nd. It has been very validating hear other engineers directly communicate their opinions on my preparedness and background. In my previous career I always felt a certain lag to current-ness.
• 3rd. Seeing and hearing the mentees respond so positively to my work experience and background, and my comments on how best to put their skills to use has been incredibly satisfactory.
• 4th. I feel like everything that I am doing will prepare me for something to come. No idea what or how, but I keep getting this feeling that this new knowledge will be put to great use.
• 5th. New found and much needed patience has been found. There has always been this innate craving for becoming an expert overnight at something new. Part of the reason for my stress-induced-anxiety. This time however a more structured regiment allows me to feel paced instead of running uniseriately and burning out 50 yards in.
• 6th. Eating better. Being forced into a schedule, I have been eating better, still a long ways to go, from my weight and food quality goals, but definitely closer that I have been in a long time.

There is still a lot to change thou, I still procrastinate more than I should. I am still not as prepared as I should be. I still need to go to the gym. I still need to eat better.
