How to know if you are a teacher ?
I was always told my mom that I was going to have 100 kids when I got married. Well I didn't have 100, but I have taught more than 100 kids in the past years. I would have never thought I would have been a teacher. I hated school and could come up with more reason to miss school, but my freshman year in high school I found a way to get out of school early. All you had to do is sign up for this class and then you had to go to an elementary school and help some teachers. How easy would that be work a couple of hours and the rest of the afternoon you had early release. What a deal?Guess what happened, I Fell in Love with teaching and knew this is what I was going to do for the rest of my life. It didn't just happened had some major family issues and had to take custody of my sister's children and I was only 19 years old. I worked in an Elementary School as an Aide and try to take college classes and take care of a four year old and a newborn baby. So school had to go on the back burner. I had to just be the best Aide I could be and learn as much as I could.Then all of a sudden a tragedy hit a teacher in a special ed. class died and I was emergency certified to teach with no education. I was thrown into a class of severe emotional disturbed kids in which I had been the Aide. The challenge began ! This is what I have learned in the past twenty years please follow my funny stories the how to and just the greatest job you could ever have. Until next time always remember have fun and enjoy your kids.
