So, I successfully finished my summer training got a job teaching chemistry! The downside is that it is not a high-need school. The job market was sparse, and it was the only offer I had. I am grateful for it. Though I wish I could be making more of an impact in a high-need school, I am very overwhelmed. I know the first year is the toughest. It is challenging enough to learn this craft; as I improve, I will be able to add on the challenge of a high-need situation.
why is there no “give up” option anymore? It’s just “I’m doing this” or “I’m done.” I’m not doing it anymore, but I didn’t accomplish it, either. What gives? :(
I think I would need to practice driving one before I made an investment. I have a 9 mile commute now that I’m in Austin… I am afraid I will get squashed on account of my clumsiness. My whole family is horrified at the thought, and they do know me and my lack of balancy skillz pretty well…. :( I think this goal is shelved until the eventual decline of my Honda will force me to make a serious transportation decision.
