Back To Work, 2012
My summer is officially over. I report to Carlson High School tomorrow to start my fifteenth year as an educator. At the end of this year I will reach the official half-way point of my career. This year will also mark the first year that I will not be coaching, which may be a little difficult when March arrives. I loved coaching track and field and I will miss it greatly.
I realize this may sound strange, but I actually love going back to work. I love my job and the people I work with (staff and students). This year may be a little tough because of some hits to the paycheck (thanks Lansing) but I still would not want to work in any other field. I never went into education to make millions, I just wanted to do something I would enjoy. The Harvey MacKay quote, "find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life" is so true!
To be honest I am not sure what this year will bring. I hope to be able to teach another writing class or two at Wayne County Community College and I am also debating about using my Master of Educational Leadership degree to find an administrator position. I am nervous about moving from teacher to principal, but I really think I would do well in the position.
To all of my friends in education I hope you have a wonderful school year. It may be difficult, but pull up your boot straps and do your best. Next up for me, finding a book for September!
