The
great thing about having left the education profession at the ripe age of 21
without completing my certificate was that I now had life under me. Some people
immediately know what and where they are meant to be, for me I had to find it
organically through a list of ups and downs in the real world, dabbling in ‘Corporate
America’ with one of the largest Pharmaceutical companies, riding out the
recession, running a large retail store, selling homes, writing a simple blog
and in short cultivating experiences that will make me a better, more patient,
more real world educated teacher. As a prospective educator I have learned from
these experiences to take time with students, validate them and their concerns,
take those concerns seriously, walk beside them on a portion of their literary
journey and hopefully they will write about me as a positive note on their
literary timeline someday.
