I'm considering a change in career.
Not.. like.. my real life career after college.. Nope.. Still hanging on to my English and Geography roots. I'm talking about the "put me through college/pays for my food" career.
As you know (I hope) I teach preschool. I work at a daycare and am in charge of a rowdy little bunch of munchkins who clobber me with hugs and snuggles when I walk in the door. I love them to death. They're great, but I'm growing tired of the other side of the job.. the whole.. dealing with other teachers and butting heads with my boss side of things.
Long story short, I disagree with decisions and actions taken by some of the staff and I feel strongly that I no longer am comfortable working there.. Not to mention, I'm watching all of the families whom I've fallen in love with leave. It's heartbreaking to continue to say goodbye to the families who have been there since I started, and amazing to see how many others who haven't been there that long leave. It's a bit of a sign that I need to get the heck outta there.
I applied to work at a boarding center for cats and dogs. I love cats and dogs, and I mean, they're as snuggly (if not a little more) than kids, plus, I'm hoping there will be less frustration than in my current location. I'm going to be sad, really really sad, to say goodbye to all my kids and the classroom I've made my home.. But I can't imagine moving on will be worse than staying where I'm at.
Always,
H.Eilene
