So, I finally finished up my long term position in the “Alternative” education school.which is sold as wonderful, and yet somehow is failing to reach the standards it has set out. But Monday morning was my first day back to being a day-to-day sub and I got a call for my favorite middle school. I had a wonderful day. One of my classes was a bit difficult, but I knew that I would not be treated like an idiot by anyone in administration for not making friends with those kids. After all, I am there for a purpose, not to make friends. But anyhow.I realized after just the one day, that I do really like the idea of becoming a teacher and that the right job will come my way. And when it does.I will jump on it. Overall, I am so sad not to see a specific teacher that I made friends with at that school, but it feels really good not to be there anymore. I am already sleeping better and feeling good about working. Overall, it was a great experience and some of those students really made a difference in my life.and I hope I did impact theirs a bit. But some jobs aren’t for me and that school isn’t a fit! Glad to have learned it and not after taking an actual job!
I took today and tomorrow off of subbing to clean my much neglected house and OMG I could clean for days and not feel very much accomplished. But gonna work my butt off tomorrow and hope that something sparkles by the end of the day. HAHA!!
And with all this, I have made some great connections, friends and even gained much confidence that I will make a great teacher and that I love to watch kids connect with education and their lives. And I know that even in subbing, I will get to see that. During the prep period I had at the middle school on Monday, I came across 2 students that I had my first 3 days of subbing and got a big hug from the young lady and the young man was wondering when I would sub for one of their teachers again. It was a good feeling!! (Also my favorite school because one kid asked me how I finished college at 18 since you have to finish college to be a sub.How do you not love a school when you are called 18 when you’re pushing 33?!?!)
Looking forward to the future and the experiences that will come with it!
GOOD JOB MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
