When I was a kid, I was never able to answer the question 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' I didn't know. Sometimes I find myself asking kids today that same question in an attempt to get ideas because, honestly, I *still* don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
If I could get paid to read, that would be phenomenal!
So, when it came time to pick a major at school, I went with elementary education because it was something I could do. Besides- I just watched the movie 'Rise of the Guardians' (yay Jack Frost!!!.... if you've seen it, then you know what I mean...) & apparently I'm still an 8 yo little girl, because it has joined the ranks of 'Tangled' and 'How to Train your Dragon' as my favorite movies. Ever.
What better job than one where you understand the students you are working with?
So, if you are in the field of teaching, you know that to get certified you need to graduate, and then take the Praxis. --->Basically this *big* test that proves your ability to understand the subjects you are trying to teach young kids. And despite some rough starts & stops on my way of getting that degree, I passed my early childhood education (grades pre-k through 3) praxis just last month!! (I even managed to score slightly above average in the math section. Who knew??)
So, it's time for me to: Celebrate, Focus on my NEW JOB, and (basically) Keep Surviving this crazy time called "adult" <yay!>
