Career Day


It is that time again. 
Kelsey from Keeping up with Kelsey and I are co-hosting another  link-up.
You probably noticed we skipped our "the good life" link-up last week. 
No great excuse...Wednesday just snuck up on us with Monday being a holiday!

This week’s theme is  CAREER DAY.

Well….right after High school I went to college and graduated with a degree in
Interior Design and minored in Art.
I did design work for a few years and really enjoyed it
but decided to follow my original passion, to be an Art Teacher!
So now I have my teaching license but am not a teacher, YET.
Living in rural Nebraska there is not a lot of demand for art teachers
but I am confident that soon I will have job doing what I love!
For now I am a substitute teacher and I am really enjoying it.
I feel that these years of being a sub are going to make me a much more effective teacher.
I am able to learn/observe/try out a variety of classroom management styles.
One of the perks of being a sub is the extra flexibility,
which is especially nice with 2 young cowgirls not yet in school.
I am enjoying being a sub but the goal is to be a full time teacher in the future.

{I plan to never grow up} Being a teacher allows me to always look forward to
Christmas break, snow days, and SUMMER VACATION!
Since it is summer vacation…..I am currently a stay at home mom.
So now I spend my days watering flowers, working in the garden, cleaning,
laundry, playing with kids, going to the pool, play dates, baseball games,
library visits, cooking, working on projects, chores, and a lot more….
I love summer and being home with my kids!!!! 

Shhhh....I don't get dressed up nice everyday! 
If I have no place to go and I'm just going to be out at the farm all day I look more like this...
I’m looking forward to reading others career day posts.
