I’ve
been teaching second grade now for about two months and man has it gone by
fast! I can’t believe I only have 4
weeks left with my second graders! I
really should get back to work, but let me answer two quick questions I often
find myself answering.
Is teaching everything you thought
it would be?
Yes! I absolutely love teaching. It is by far the profession I was mean to be in. I enjoy going to school each day and finally
putting so many ideas to use. On the
other hand, it is so much more than I ever thought it would be. I had no idea how much there was left to
learn—and I’m pretty sure I’ve only
scratched the surface. Coming into a
classroom halfway through the year has not been easy at all! BUT, I am so glad
I have had this opportunity and the chance to learn and grow more as a
teacher. I have a more challenging
class, but they are constantly pushing me to get creative and find new ways to meet
their needs.
Where
will you teach next year? Will you be at
the same school?
I feel
like the answer to that question is simply put: ?????????????????
I
honestly have no idea where I will be next year. I have one interview set up, but there are a
lot of qualified applicants so I do not know what will come. I have applied to several places, but ultimately
all I can do is hope and wait for God’s plan in my life.
The truth
is that I’m struggling to be patient right now.
I know where I want to be next year, but I am trying my best to be
patient and see what happens. It’s hard
to know that you only have a few months to find a job, like your window of
opportunity is only available for so long.
It is difficult to hear of other friends already interviewing and
finding jobs. In the end, though, all I
can control is my situation. I have to
trust that whatever His will is will happen, even if I don’t understand it or agree
with it at the time.
Please
pray friends! These next few weeks are
going to be quite the adventure!
