23-7-2009 - FINALLY A CAREER! excitedMy mood while writing this blog:
excited



I finally decided today that i want to be a middle/high school teacher! I'm not for sure about what grades, but i'm leaning more towards high school than middle school. I think i want to major in English or Science. I'm not sure which one yet, but i'm going to think about it. I am going to try to go talk to an advisor tomorrow or Monday to see exactly what i need to do to get this started in January. I want to take online classes for basics if i can for at least the first semester. I have been to college before & i always quit going b/c of things going on in my life at those times. I have some work to do to fix my grades. I have to retake some classes & get my GPA up. I'm really excited about being a teacher also bc that means i will be working while Silas is in school & i'll be off in the summer when he is, so my work won't interfere with time with him! Hubby always works 1st shift too so we can all be together in afternoons & weekends! I'm going to try to find a job till i finish school that has something to do with kids or school somehow just for more experience that may look good on a resume. I have a couple of things on my background from when i was 18 (only misdemeanors & a youthful offender case). I'm kind of worried that those things may stop me from being able to be a teacher. I'm going to ask the advisors about it & possibly get in touch with a school board & see what their policy is on things like that. I really hope i can be a teacher bc i would love it so much! It has taken me a LONG time to decide what i want to do with my life & i'm just so happy that i have FINALLY made a choice! I have thought about nursing, psychologist, therapist, social worker, counselor, vet, etc...i just couldn't decide mostly bc i want a career that lets me help people, children, or animals, that wouldn't take up all of my time so i still have time for my family, that lets me work the same shift as Hubby, that won't have me worrying about day care in a few years, & makes decent money although money isn't really a big factor for me. I think being a teacher would fulfill all of those! I know there has been teacher lay offs, but i'm hoping by the time i finish school that the economy will have picked back up. We may move also sometime to a bigger city with more opportunities for both me & Hubby. In his career, the bigger the city, the better the opportunity. I plan on coaching or leading a club/extracurricular activity also so i have a better chance of getting a job. The more things you can do as a teacher, the better your odds are of getting a job around here! Well i just had to share this since i'm just so happy about finally making a decision! I thought i would NEVER figure out what i wanted to do with my life!

thats a good career plus im sure it will be fun

I like your idea, it sounds like it should full fill your needs! And just a suggestion for the job that would help your resume: Maybe get a job at a day care. You will get care for Silas free or discounted and also be adding to your resume. You can kind of advance with him. Good luck on what ever you decide!!

Congrats. I was just having dinner w/ a friend of mine who is a teacher. She teaches 8th grade and she says that's a rough year, 7th and 9th grades are better. She says in 7th grade they're still innocent, but by 8th grade, they start acting out.

Congrats on choosing a career choice,we need more teachers in the world who has a passion for teaching..Don't let your past hold you down from your future,you will get that dream job,have faith and everything will work out!

That is great news and such a great career! Probably also by the end of your education, you will start student teaching at a school and its a way of getting your foot in the door somewhere. A couple of my friends have gotten a job that way teaching. And hopefully by starting online you can ease yourself back into going to school. Congrats!

Congratulations, on your career choice. I know it is not easy to decide on a careeer, as most of us fall into one. Speaking to your advisors will provide excellent insight into what your next steps will be. Both my brother and his wife are teachers and they have to deal with some internal politics w/in the schools, but are rewarded with days and summers off that I can't dream of having in my career. I think it is a great career for parents that want to spend time with the children as they grow up, while making a difference in your community.
