Day 10 - a photo taken over 10 years ago of you and how it makes you feel seeing it now.
This photo was taken in August of
2000. It is my (former) classroom. I had just graduated, I was 24 years
old. I was ecstatic to have landed my dream job. I was young,
enthusiastic and full of energy! I could not wait to get started! I
loved seeing my name on the door knowing that soon enough a bunch of
little ones would come filing through and that I would be responsible
for their learning and appreciation of another language. I was proud.
I love kids. I knew that I wanted to
be a teacher from a young age. I also knew that I wanted more than
anything to be a mommy and knew that once my time came I would quit
whatever I was doing to stay home with them, if at all possible.
I taught for 5 years. I worked really
hard. I had many ups. I had many downs. Teaching is SO rewarding yet so
draining.. oh, but I got off work at 3:30 and I had Christmas, Spring
Break and summers off so it wasn’t too bad, right! (Insert sarcasm!!)
Then I had my baby and quit. Sadly I
have not really missed it. It was once my passion and now it is gone?
Hmm... I love being fortunate enough to stay at home and raise my
children I just worry about what I will do next? Once my kiddos are all
gone to school, then what for me?
