"Arriving at one point is the starting point to another." -John Dewey
I spent so long working towards a degree in education. Once I reached that goal, I wanted nothing more than to stay at home with my sweet baby boy...and I got to do that! But, now it's time to go back to work. I'm excited and nervous and anxious and happy and terrified all at once! One of the local counties is hosting a job fair for teachers this Thursday. It has been a full year since I have had a real conversation about the intricacies of education. Thursday I will interview with as many as eleven principals. I really hope I don't stumble my way through this! I have my portfolio ALMOST finished, my hair dyed back to a normal color (previously had pink highlights), my resume ready to be printed! In theory, I'm ready...time to put theory into practice!
Don't get me wrong...I AM excited about this. I've ALWAYS wanted to be a teacher. Now I get to do what I always dreamed of doing. It will be extremely difficult to leave Cullen to go back to work. That being said, I am truly proud that Cullen will grow up seeing me living my dream! I want to be a positive example for my son and this is where I begin that lesson. I just hope that I learn to balance the schedule quickly. There are so many things left to do once I actually GET a job. I have to find a daycare for one. But, I need to focus on one thing at a time. So, all of my energy will be going toward this job fair! I need as many prayers and positive vibes as we can muster. I REALLY want to be in this school system! It would make the transition to the working world easier for all three members of this little family!
