So I said I had some changes that were happening and here it is.
Today is officially the last day of my teaching career.
I always wanted to be a teacher my whole life and it never waivered until recently. I have spent the last 4 years teaching math and every year I grew, perfected lessons and implemented new ideas. I love working with the students, they are the reason why I became a teacher. But finally I realized I spent so much time working on lessons and creating things that would keep students engaged and interested in math and after I was done I realized I spent more time evaluating if parents would like what I was doing than if students would be engaged, learning and growing. That is when I knew this wasn't the career I thought it was and it was so disheartening and I knew I needed to make a change.
I spent a lot of time praying about what to do next.
Monday I start my job at a marketing company as an client success associate (fancy name for account manager) I have spent so much time talking with the company to make sure this was a job I wanted to take and I know in my hear that this opportunity is what is best. When I told my students they were sad because we have such a great relationship but they understand and the support I received from parents was amazing.
I am so excited, anxious and nervous for this new career opportunity and can't wait to share my journey with you!
Wow! Congratulations on your new career! I'll be praying for you and this new journey! :)

ReplyDeleteThis sounds so very similar to what I went through in deciding to get a Masters after being out of school for so long. Congrats on this huge step!!!
