For the last week and a half I've worked at St. Joseph's Villa for Children. What if I decide I want to go into special needs? I really like having a low ratio. And making a connection. And making a difference. I know I can do that as a mainstream teacher, but what if I had the chance to work with the villa as a career? To work with kids that really need a partner in life, to be that person for someone. How amazing would that be?? Awesome.
I guess I have some things to think about. Maybe I can wait til I get to grad school to make that decision, we'll find out. I change my mind so often, I may just be in school forever.
Elementary teacher.
Bilingual teacher.
Special education teacher.
So many options!
Needless to say, I really like working with the villa and I am hoping I can find a part-time job with them, or at least volunteer during the school year.
Also, I have the best hairdresser ever. Not only does she make my hair look beautiful no matter how ambiguous I am about what I want, she offers some great words of encouragement, probably without even knowing it.
She is a chatty girl and was asking me about recent romantic adventures in my life. After going quickly over the many things happening in my life she commented, "Being single is hard." (I agree!) "But you know, once you get married, all of that stuff is nothing. You look back and realize why all those things didn't work out. And you don't care anymore."
I missed institute to get my hair done (priorities, I know...) and we are taking about the proclamation and preparing for marriage and families and all that fun stuff (I actually like it, I look forward to that part of my life) and she summed up what you need to remember while dating and looking for that special someone- If ti doesn't work out, there is a reason and you will be aware of it when you finally do find that person for you.
Good couple of days I say!
