After four years of teaching I was starting to wonder if I had chosen the right second career. It was a little depressing to think that I had invested all of the blood, sweat and tears (and money) and I may not be in the right place.
I wasn't in a happy place in the classroom for many reasons. Those reasons aren't important anymore. What is important is what I told Dan just a few days into this new school year.

"When I thought about becoming a teacher, this is what I imagined it would be like."
It may not be a perfect school district, or perfect school, but at least I know that I am where I belong this year. In the classroom instilling a love of learning and writing into crazy 7th graders.
Not feeling Ms. Placed in my career choice is an amazing feeling.
Bring it A.W.C.P.A. 2012-2013!!!
