I don’t think this type of job is for me. I get scared thinking of dealing with high school kids. I will revisit this goal in a few years. Maybe I can grow a pair before then!

That I am again immersing myself with the Spanish culture. I used to watch lots of movies, read books and listen to Spanish music. I am doing that again. Last night I watched “Sex and Lucia”. Great movie, but the Spanish was difficult!!!
But I started it today. I am more sure of this than before. I explored my Nutrition field options and I’m pretty much out of luck with getting an R.D. I refuse to let my degree go to waste because I can’t get accepted into an internship, so I am going to teach high school instead. I have my bachelor’s, so I am about halfway there.
I have a ton of graduate level Spanish courses I have to take, since that’s the subject I want to teach. It will take at least 2 years just to do that part. I also have to gather up some hours of volunteering with children so I can show the admissions people that I am qualified.
I already contacted an admissions counselor, so my official start date is TODAY! It will be several years until I can teach. I am aiming for 2012, fall.
3.5 years away from getting this goal!

Counting college and everything, it took about 4 years. You need to study for it though. No fun not passing and wasting $150!
sillylily is thinking of more things i want to do
i start in sept, taking the test dec, and hopefully by next year, will be teaching!
Getting my teaching certificate has been the most rewarding accomplishment ever. Although we are currently on strike :( there is nothing better than being in the classroom with a bunch of eager students. Good luck!!!
Wow…what a goal to try to achieve. This goal is so wonderful because it not only benefits you, but imagine what you will bring to the life of others!!! I am a teacher, an educator, and soon a school counselor. I have not regretted this decision, although lawmakers want to punish me financially for choosing this profession. Good luck to you!!!
I finished my teacher certification 4 1/2 years ago and have not regretted it. Good luck!
