About the my journey:

"A Teacher Reborn" is a personal journey about my days and schooling onto becoming an elementary school teacher (called "pre-certification"). To understand the content of this material, start from the very beginning -- kinda like a book. Enjoy! LT Olson

Chapter II: Must Be Karma

As luck would have it, a total blessing in disguise arrived in my email just last night. It was very disheartening, but at the same time a "sign" if you will. As I was about to approach my supervisor about a few changes in my schedule and a voluntary demotion as a Program Specialist due to my practicum studies, she has written me an email in which it had been turned in to HR. I will have a meeting with her and HR when school resumes. Long story short: I suck at my position as a lead teacher with the philosophy that their utilizing at their center. I have been going through the grieving stage all day. I finally have the guts to sit here and write it all down.

My desire is to (desparately) get that elementary ed. certificate. Career-wise, THAT is my priority. Because of the state's requirement to have that certificate, I do have to make certain sacrifices to get what I want. Therefore, I have internally decided to go with the flow of things and just work for EvCC as a part time classified staff. In other words, I decided to step down from my current position which I do not mind at all. Like I said in the beginning, being a childcare worker, which I am, is emotionally and physically exhausting. There are those who have the talent to work with very little ones and I did have that talent a long time ago before these changes occured. But, this time, it's different.

Well...we'll see what happens after my meeting.
