My 9th year of teaching began last week and I cannot believe that it has been almost a decade since I began. 9 years and I still don't know how I feel about the whole profession. I know I am meant to do something more and I know that teaching is a noble profession, but I have lost my drive.
Each year I feel more and more upset about being intellectual stagnant. I never realized how important it was for me to use my mind, to learn new things, to challenge myself. But as I continue a job that begins and ends every year the exact same way I understand my intense need for change and challenge.
What to do though? How to change my life in a real way when this job is consistent and necessary. Husby and I share a mortgage, a son and a life that will drastically change without my income. So how do I go about taking care of my family and being true to myself? How do I keep my mind sharp?
I guess it all starts with a plan. So now I start the process of my new path...
As soon as the creature entered this house my world was turned inside out! What is life like after birthing a creature? We shall see!
