Its been a while since I had the time to sit down at the computer to express myself. For a while I felt pressure to post every day but not enough to write about. So with the help of my computer having a mind of its own, I quit, I gave up. With a new frame of mind I will attempt to start again. Trying to share my life situations the best way I know how.

I went to college to become a teacher and have been working in the school system for over five years. And now when I so close to completing my degree I no longer find the joy that I used to have. It is very hard for me to love kids so much and want so much for them and then they don't want it for themselves. Everyday I walk into a classroom where students don't want to learn and are very disrespectful to most of the faculty. How can you teach when the student does not want to learn? What do you tell a parent who is frustrated with the child's lack of motivation and bad behavior? How do I keep myself from losing the love and want to teach?

Teaching is supposed to be a rewarding career and for the most part it is. But I can't see myself in a classroom for another ten years. I'm now left with the question "What can I do next?"
I have always searched my mind for something else to do that I would love and have a passion for and make really good money. And I have always contemplated having my own business but to stay in business in such a competitive market you have a business with longevity and originality.

Well I have come up with an idea that will allow me to still stay in the teaching field but also a means for extra money. I will now pursue a master's degree in massage therapy. In the school system I can use this to become an occupational therapist and work on students that need therapy. The benefit will be that I can also work out of my home and maybe grow into a small business. Who knows what the future may hold for me after that.

Next..

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately and I guess that's what made me want to start back. I like that I can read and see that my life is not so different from many other people around the world. I feel connected in some way. Eventually I will have a computer after the new the new year that will be in better shape. Then I will be able to post from home. The kids are taking a math and I am taking advantage of the schools fast access.

Until next time, be safe and keep it REAL and HONEST!!
