Really can’t believe it…
I have taught at a middle school in TN for just over two months…and I have LOVED it. WHAT?!?! I loathed middle school when I was in middle school and spent the four years I was getting my K-12 Dance Education degree saying with great confidence that I would never teach middle school….that I wasn’t strong enough to teach middle school. But I’m here and working with almost 500 5th-8th graders a week and am having so much fun and have felt so happy. How is this possible? How is this happening? How is this real?
No, I really can’t believe it. But it’s true. It’s my reality. The summer leading up to this huge life change was such a challenging transition for me. I was depressed and worn out. The mad-dash and years of stress and hard work leading up to graduation was so consuming and then, it was all over. Over over over. Then I had two long months of feeling rejected and unwanted. I watched as two of my best friends got married to people who love them more than they will ever understand. I began to move out of my apartment that I called home for two years without really knowing where the heck I was moving out too. I filled out and sent off 15 or so teaching applications and heard back from two schools that weren’t even serious about actually hiring me. The boy I loved screwed me over for the 100th and yet, most painful time. And oddly enough, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been now. God really knows what to do with his people. I went through so much terrible-ness this summer but look what He has done for me? It’s truly an incredible journey I have been on…and am still on.
On a whim I decided to fill out an application for a school in TN. Was called in for an interview a week later. The week after that I was offered the job and immediately relocated and began teaching. How could I have ever thought that God wasn’t looking out for me? I don’t know either. But I’m happy. I was trained well and have been working harder than I have ever worked before, but it truly is rewarding. I’ve had students treat me horribly but turn around and change before my eyes. I’ve become so attached to my students. I think about them constantly and want the best possible for them, dance-wise, academically, emotionally. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me and my students later in this first and most significant year of teaching. Send me some love and prayers! =)
