So for a few weeks i felt like i had no future when it came to what i was doing … and it really just felt like a big waste of money. well… my friend Joyce and i got together today, she needed someone to help her go food shopping
oh wait … this morning and i went to perkins and had pancakes!!! 😀 it was so good. i love me the pancakes and we talked about weird things and medicine and stuff … we needed it as always …
she just had knee surgery and needed someone to help her around so of course i said yes and we went out to the store and started talking about work… so i told her about my thesis and about the problems with my MATS. she asked me if i was serious about getting my teaching cert. and about sub work… i said of course…
she handed me a gigantic packet of paperwork for th 2 day sub teaching intensive in her district. its a 13 district group that needs subs and aids. I have more than what i need to do this but i need to have my essay and everything else in and done for tomorrow because that’s the last day.
But i could be a sub… keep my cake decorating job and sub in the middle of the week… its like $90 a class to sub… i can do that… i’d be able to do it 2 or 3 days a week and work at my store Friday-Sunday. it seems like a wacky schedule… but at the same time it would still be less than i am doing now…and it would still add up to only about one full time job. That is so much less than what i have been doing!!
so i went from feeling like i have no future to having a decent future if i can get this application in … get my final paper in for this class i am in right now … i can do that its not going to be that long… i have an outline for it so it should only take an hour or two to write …
so… i’d be sub teaching or working as an aid for grades K-6th. maybe 7th if i can convince myself that its worth it…. but 6th is the grade my friend teaches at and i could become her sub if things work out right!
she thinks … and a few others think that i would be a good teacher like that … and if i wanted to do the stuff to become a real teacher there is a quickie program just to get my cert… i dont know what i think about that. i could make a decent life for myself as a sub..subing 3 days would be 2x more than i make decorating cakes in a week.
i can write a good essay.
