August 27, 2019 was the day: passed the pabo with an 8.5! I was so happy and proud of myself, because becoming a teacher was something I had already dreamed of as a little girl. I would absolutely do this for the rest of my life.
"The rest of my life..."
In the past 4 years I have been working as an elementary school teacher, I have dropped out several times, due to burnout/strain issues. Somehow I thought that the profession was not meant for me (anymore), yet I still put π¦π’π£π§ π‘ππ€π€ππ§ π’π§ π‘ππ π³ππ§π every time that thought came along. This is what I studied for, right? Surely this was my dream? This was what I was going to do for the rest of my life, wasn't it? I began to doubt, became confused. I no longer wanted to dig my heels in, I wanted to "flow"!
It was clear to me that working with children was one of my greatest passions. Perhaps I should broaden my horizons and look around me. After all, I had tried every form of work in education, so I could say that I had really done everything I could to make the profession workable - for me.
When I suffered a major concussion in April, forcing me to recover in peace, I knew for sure: I was going to change course and not dig my heels in against my thoughts. Moreover, I felt very strongly from every fiber in my body that something was going to come my way that would get me MEGA excited.
And guess what! That came!
Effective November 1, I will be joining a wonderful, vibrant and loving family as a Family and Personal Assistant throughΒ @thefamilyassistant.co.uk . I get to take care of the children, challenge them educationally, spend lots of time with them, cuddle () in addition to being an active contributor as the parents' PA on business matters.
