big decisions.....
Ok.....I've been doing a lot of thinking. Do I really want to teach, or is it just something that I've been pushed into because that's what my parents wanted of me and it was something that I thought was easy because I had grown up with it. While I was sick *which I am much better by the way* I had a lot of time to think....the monotony of teaching the same thing every year would kill me. Yes History never changes like math does or like science does, but that's just the thing....it.....NEVER....CHANGES. I need something more exciting then that, but I have to work with children. I can't see myself doing a desk job 9-5 workin "for the man" so no secretarial work for me *although I do have impeccable typing skills if I don't say so myself* , no....what I had in mine was something a little closer to teaching, but instead of lecturing kids about other people's stories...I would get to hear theirs. I'm going to start looking into what it would take to get a degree as a social worker. I've looked at the course load and it's not much different then the course load I've already got.
As some of you know, I've been diagnosed with Dyscalculia, which means that math and I aren't real good friends. Yes I am worried about having to take the Math portion of the Praxis, but that's not the basis of my decision. It's the more I thought about it, I realized that all I would be doing is a desk job where I would lecture people....over.....and......over.......and.......over.......again. That's not me, that's not what I'm meant to do. It sounds crazy, but I can just feel it. I know I have more in me than just being a teacher. Yes teaching has been my major for the past.....4years.....>.>; but if I simply complete this degree and wait until I have another opportunity to go back to school, then I'll be miserable....and I can't do that to myself or any future students I would have, it wouldn't be fair or right to them.
Anyway...give me feedback and love....lots and lots of loves......why no i'm not an attention whore, why do you ask XD
Loves to all,
