True to the season, a lot of people have been getting sick. And now I'm beginning to feel unwell also. Although, now that it's the weekend, this feeling might just be my body saying, "Alright, now CHILL. OUT." It's going to be a packed weekend, however, so I can't get too comfortable with my pillow.
May I introduce my new blog?
I haven't posted anything in a couple of weeks which is due to my very busy schedule and certain assignments that are due now that we've hit the middle of the semester. But I hope that I will still come here frequently now that midterms are behind me.
I've been trying to renew my love and passion for school and it's slowly working. The key is to do it for me. I can't do this for my professors or to impress anybody. I have to do it to impress myself and become more skilled. Teaching has caught my attention lately and only this semester have I begun to think that I could do it. I wouldn't teach in a public school – too much regulation and political limitation. I would teach in a Catholic school or I would teach religious education – probably younger students but maybe older. I love little kids and I really want to show them how to harness their creativity and teach them to love learning.
I'm going to take another education class next semester if I can. At the very least, I'm keeping my options open. If the only attractive job opening is teaching, then I can say I'm prepared to teach writing and grammar! And if no teaching positions are open, then I at least have the know-how and can apply it to other areas of either personal or professional life.
The future holds many possibilities.
