Thoughts of Beginning

In less than one month I will begin my life long career dream. I will be teaching. This is scary, actually this is past scary this is a terrifying thought to me. I have so many thoughts or doubts going through my mind. However, I do feel as though I was born to teach. The excitement in a child's face when learning something new is a complete adrenaline rush to me. When a child becomes proud of what they know they have accomplished is something indescribable. I love it!!!!
I plan to call my principal this week to try and get materials and try to blueprint a game plan. I am a planned out, spur of the moment type person. Sounds like an oxymoron right? Well in a way that is what I am. Through school I always had a plan of what I was going to do. From the time I was given the assignment my brain would begin outlining plans of creativity to accomplish the task at hand. On more than one occasion I would change the entire plan sometimes hours before the deadline. This is me! The planned spur of the moment girl! (the oxymoron) I was told at times I was crazy for doing such as this. I was surrounded by peers that would work weeks sometimes months on something and I would completely throw mine out and start over. Something better would come to mind I would have to act on it!
I am saying this to say that I know even if I could plan for the entire year knowing myself these plans would change. But I must begin a plan!
I am sure as things get more hectic closer to game time I may not write all that much! However, I have found that this blog is a release for me. There is somewhat of a comfort in knowing that I can type thoughts into the world wide web and someone may read and agree. I have always said that I think that one of the most valuable benefits of talking to a therapist is the feeling of freedom to talk to someone who is a complete stranger. Someone who does not know you personally to place judgement on your voiced feelings! Maybe this is why I have found this blog to be personally enjoyable!
Keep Smiling!
