Found My Calling

So as I mentioned in my last blog, I am substitute teaching this week for my Uncle Chris Manwaring who got the new Art teacher job at the High School as the old one retired. 
(Good Job Chris)  Well I have absolutely loved it.  I have been in between decisions lately.  I was thinking about going to the Prime Cut Academy because I do like to do hair and it only takes about a year to get through it.  Well ever since I was in high school I wanted to be a high school teacher.  Well instead of pursuing that I got married and started a family.
So any way I was talking to my Grandma Manwaring and Uncle Chris one day, and they really gave me some good advice.  They had me ask myself some good questions to.  Like do I want a fast fix to a job or follow my dream.  Well so I thought well ya I think being an elementary teacher would be the job for me.  Well after subbing this week at the High School  that is where I want to be.  I absolutely loved High School myself and the kids are really great here.  You don't have to babysit because they are old enough to know what they should be doing and you just need to help them stay on track.  Don't get me wrong I know that there is alot more to it then that and I have no idea after one week what it is all about, but I just love this age.  Well after I finish school which I have not even started I might have a change of mind but as for now here I am.
So after talking to my Grandma and Chris and a good friend from my past I have decided to go to school.  That is really a scary decision.  But, it will all be worth it in the end.  Right???
See I'm not even done with this entry and I have second thoughts on age groups.  I teach the eight year old class in primary and I think that they absolutely great and would be fun to teach also.........

Great decision! You will never regret education! :) You go girl!

Yes do it!!!!! You SO SHOULD go back to school. You would be a great teacher to any age. And you don't have to decide on the age right now, just get your butt in school! Grampa would be so proud of this choice. Plus it lets you still have summers and evenings with your kiddos.

I think that is great! Education is always a good choice, and it is worth doing something that you really like to do. Good luck with it. I hope everything goes well.
