I teach, therefore I am... NOT

As I’ve alluded, I’ve really changed my ‘what I want to be when I grow up’ goal. Quite a bit.

 I was on a teaching track. I wanted to finish my BA and get a co-op position, earning my teaching certificate. My aim was HS English with a background in theater. I was in theater in HS and I wanted to work with kids as cool as I was (ha!) Then I got really fed-up with my Jr High RE class. Those kids can be punks. Obviously going to school for a year or 2 would give me more technique and knowledge than the whole 6 hours of training we receive as RE teachers. Digress.

Not only that but... Things just aren’t so hot for teachers right now. Politically. Financially. I’m terrified of adding to my family’s debt to NOT have a job. It boils down to being scared to not succeed.

Know what I am good at? And have done? And have connections doing? And have wanted to do in the past? Plan weddings. I love it all (except I hated planning my own!). So, that is my current plan. I even have a client!!! She is getting married in September and is VERY casual. In fact, she has paid me, and tomorrow we check out flowers.

If this goes well, I may invest in an internet course and certification. I am still unsure about the direction I want to take. Do I want to be a DOC at a venue (preferably a church)? A contract DOC? JLo? Time will tell!!
