Moving Forward

I haven't written much. I've decided one of the reasons, I don't have much to write about. A lot of what I have to say are the things I have been saying since I came home. The Lord has a plan for me, everything is going to work out, and I still don't have a full time position.

I need a reason to blog. I've realized the people who do the best with their blogging are those who have a reason, family update, publication process, therapy, etc. My theme of my blog has always been my adventures in teaching. And right now, teaching isn't so adventurous. So, while I am waiting for those adventures to come, I don't know what to do with my blog. I'm thinking. I know I want to keep writing. I want to keep this little corner of the web for my thoughts on education, teaching, and all the joys, pain, sorrows, peace, and happiness that comes with it. I want it to be a place for other teachers to come to and know they aren't the only ones who have experienced all of these things. Right now my experiences are VERY unique, and I know this. I think that is why I am having a hard time writing about them. Because they are so personal and growth related when it comes to me.

So here is the update, I am moving forward. I am growing. I am learning. I am hopeful. I am having a great experience, even if it isn't exactly what I think I want. I have seen the ways that I have changed as an educator. I have seen my patience level rise (I hope that is still the case when I have my own class of 30 kids that I see everyday.) I am more positive.

I know the possibility of me getting a full time position in the next 4 months, is pretty slim. But, I am looking forward to next year. Things are definitely moving in a way that I didn't know they could. I am just going to do what I can to keep up with it all.

Oh! I almost forgot! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice! It was published 200 years ago on January 28, 1813.
