I'm not superwoman

This is something I've always known about myself, but something I never recognized as a problem. I've always hated getting any sort of help from anyone. I'm a very "do-it-yourself" kind of girl and I'd much rather stay up late and work on something myself, rather than delegate duties to other people and gain a few hours of sleep. I like the assurance of knowing it will be done if I do it and I know it will be done the way I want it done. I think that's why I always liked track and excelled in it. I really didn't have to rely on anyone... my time was my time and it had no bearing on anyone else's performance (unless you were in a relay of course). [side note: I just noticed that there were about 1,000 "I's" in that last paragraph.... which kind of serves as a perfect parrallel as to what I'm about to talk about it] After being at SHM for a full 2 months now, I'm realizing the importance of what it means to be a team and how it's really ok to ask for a little help once and a while. It sounds dumb, but it is really hard for me to ask for help... I feel incompetent for even asking. There is not 'i' in 'team' (corny I know) and I think by recognizing that, my quality of work will improve as well as my overall leadership skills.
