Work, School and Almost No Play

When the year starts, things start to build on me too. I just enrolled classes for Spring trying to get a teaching certification. Although I am under a condition such as "if a pass the PRAXIS Test for Elementary Education, I don't have to take further classes other than American history and American government this summer." Even my practicum will be waived knowing that I had teaching experience in the PH(PI). I hope it will work out fine. I will just entrust everything to God. After that, I wanted to pursue on the Graduate Program for Special Education. Hopefully by next year, I can get a teaching job and still go on with my studies. I see myself starved for knowledge. I am not afraid to pursue the next level of my career knowing this would help me and my family better in few years from now.

Although, the new-found work I have paid well, but it's not the place I want to be with for the rest of my life for knowing these reasons: First; the shift is either night or very early in the morning. Especially when you work in the evening, the moment you will be out from work, most of the stores are already close. No fun, eh? I worked at the military base at the Ft. Leonardwood, which I heard, a job to die for most people here in this area since it's a federal job. They pay you twice as much compared to most of the jobs outside it. Second; I still prefer to spend quality time with my husband and later on with my kids. Although I have seen people worked there for so many years, they have seem happy about it knowing "good money, men, good money" but because of it's routinal chores everyday, I will get bored so easy, and third; I still prefer to be challenged with educational aspects in dealing with kids and making them learn everyday. After all, that's the best legacy a teacher could leave for her students and for them to make use of it later on. It takes effort, it takes a will and it takes strategies to make it happen!

Well the fun part I know now is either watching soap operas on TFC or here in front of the computer checking what's going on in the other part of the world. Other than that... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
