Dreams

I have this dream to one day be a real teacher with a real classroom, real students, real textbooks, real activities - the works! However, it's been a pretty frustrating year. I looked and nothing happened really. I had a couple of interviews, but nothing that led anywhere. It's disheartening but I know I have to keep moving on, taking it one day at a time.

I have dreams.
But I don't know if they're going to come true.
I want them to.
I'm working towards it.
I'm praying it will come.
In time.

It's so hard to wait and hope and pray that your hard work trying to find a job will pay off. Some blame the economy and, partly, rightfully so. But teachers will always be in demand so why has it been so difficult to find a job?

Overqualified
Underqualified
No money

Story of my difficulties... I'm not the only wanna-be teacher out there having a difficult time. It feels like it sometimes, though.

I won't give up hope that the right school is waiting for me :-)

Until then, I have this goal to make a list of schools to send information to. Schools from around the country.

I'm not afraid to move

Once I get all of my schools together, contact principals, finish writing documents, etc., I'll be sending out en masse applications and resumes. My name will go across the country and maybe someone will need me somewhere. Alaska? Hawaii? New York? Florida? Utah? Indiana? Who knows!

I'll go wherever I'm needed.

But I have to wait....and that is so hard.

In the meantime, I'm still subbing and thankfully able to pay my ridiculous student loans.

They're still bankrupting me. But until I financially CANNOT pay them, I'll just have to make do with that until I can find another option, or they'll listen to me when I tell them I really can't afford it...

Oh well.
Life goes on.

A teaching job awaits!

And I'm so looking forward that day :-)
