July 2015 I started grad school for my teaching license
April 2017 I signed a commitment of employment with Columbus City Schools
It's actually happening.
My dream not just to become a teacher but to become a teacher in the Columbus public school system.
I could seriously cry.
I understand many, many people have bigger dreams than to make a measly teacher salary spending their lives getting disrespected by 8 year olds and working endlessly planning a lesson most of the students will forget in a matter of weeks but it's everything I want.
And it's actually going to happen.
I haven't been able to stop smiling.
I have so many ideas for my classroom and I don't even know which school I will be teaching or the grade level.
But I have a job, and it is in CCS!
This is going to be a very fun spring and summer...and I guess it will be an exciting autumn too.
I suppose I can say 2017 has been and will be such an awesome year for me.
especially coming off of 2016 which was filled with homework, textbooks, papers, projects, terrible first dates, exes entering and exiting my life again, and an underpaying job 2017 is going exactly as I had hoped.
Well, there is one thing that would make it beyond what I had hoped but that is beyond my control. Of the things I can control I have worked very, very hard for this moment and it feels every bit as rewarding as I had always imagined it would.
I'm going to be a CCS teacher!
