I apologize for not writing much this past week. School started and I have been coming home exhausted!
Today I was thinking about my favorite sunject in H.S, and college. I was wondering why I didn't pursue that as my career. My favorite subject was biology...specifically microbiology. I love it, and I was very good at it. In fact, at the tender age of 17, I diagnosed my brother with Scarlet Fever after taking HS microbiology class.
So why didn't I pursue this as a career? I am not sure! I do know that my parents pressured me to "get my Mrs. degree" ( get married). So, I am not sure if I took my studies all that seriously in college. I was too busy looking for a husband.
I wonder how my life would have been different had I followed it? Would I be a Dr?
What life choices have you made that maybe you don't know why you made them?

I'm pretty sure I know why I made the choices I've made...
I would have liked to stay in college forever, and have often wished for those days where I would sit outside of the old Mansion and read between and after classes...
Instead I got a teaching degree after i graduated and then a job so that I could join the real world ...lol...like there was some hurry!
Do you teach?

Nah, I don't call it my background.
I got my teaching cert the year after I graduated because i wanted to get married, and T* told me I had to work and contribute first....
I got lucky and the woman I student taught for was going out on a medical leave so they kept me in her place as a permanent sub from Dec-June.
Then they had another opening in that HS in Sept - perm sub til Christmas.
I fel into a middle school job Jan-June...then I could only find sub jobs for the next 6 months and I gave it up because i just felt I was going nowhere. The money sucked ($22 a day and no benefits) and you never knew if you'd work or not.
I teach sunday school for middle school kids for the past 8 years, but that's about all the teaching I do..
How old are your students? And what do you teach.

My students run the gamut from 5-7. I teach a mixed grade first and second classroom. For the most part I love it, unless my boss is driving me crazy...like today.... I teach all subjects.... language arts, math, poetry, spelling, social studies, science, phonics, etc...
