Think of each of these little tiny feet as a possibility. What? Yeah- you heard me... each of these little feet stands for something in this post, and it will carry me through the rest of my life. (Nice, huh??)
Girl feet versus boy feet...they represent the two fields I am torn between- health care feet, or education feet. And each little foot is a sub category within the field. In the health care field, there is: Nursing, Lab science, Songraphy, and Surgical Technologist. In the education field, there is Teaching, teaching assistant, and some type of office staff.
Today, I played this game, and my hand landed on "Teacher" and why not?? Yes -I really want to work in the medical field, but I really want to be in the education field, too. A long time ago, I decided to be a teacher. I changed my mind because there are no jobs for teaching around here. But right now are there really any jobs for anything? So why take the safe approach and have a slightly easier time finding a job in a hospital, or follow what my heart has known this whole time? It may take a little longer to find a job, but some day, it's got to happen...right?? It would definitely give me a reason to buy the packages of "It's my Birthday" certificates that I already buy for my own kids. I know the girls at the "teacher store" because I am addicted to going in there. The days where I go into school for the boys, I am giddy. It is a feeling that I can't even explain. Imagine- me speechless?? Although, I have had a good run at being a professional patient lately- that is not on my list for long term career choices.
I'd like to say that it's official, and that I might have just settled on my career choice and figured out what I want to be when I grow up. But, I will need to play this game again tomorrow and see which foot my hand lands on.

I think you would make a great teacher:) And think about it, it's the best of both worlds. You'd still have summers off with the boys.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is so nice to hear... and the summers with the boys would be amazing. I am so excited-- I have already gone to school to get the current information and list of classes, and will start taking my one class a semester again in the fall... when Ryan goes to Kindergarten, I will go full time. I finally feel like I have plan and I love it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can become a nurse, and later in life you can become a nursing teacher. Just saying...both things could come true!
ReplyDeleteSorry about being so late to respond to this...but you would be an AMAZING teacher! If it's what your heart is saying you need to do...than do it! It's definitely a calling in life! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nici :) I would just love it- I am giddy every time I get to go into the class room to help out, and I am smiling the rest of the day. I can't imagine a better job for me... I just hope I can find one when I am done! It would be a dream to work at sacs, but I would love to work anywhere ;)
