End of the School Year...Almost

One more week! 5 more days (only 2 full and 2 half days with the kids there)! Woohoo! I cannot wait! School will be out and I've decided to take the first month of summer off to get some things done around the house and just take a break. I had planned on taking a class or two at a community college, but I've decided to wait until 2nd summer semester to do that. Then, hopefully I can get into the groove of going to school...and then working at the school and going to school myself too. Prayers needed for that!

This has been such a great and challenging year. It was my first year as an aide for special ed. and I was surprised at how rewarding it is for me. I always knew I loved working with kids, but I had no idea that special education could be for me till I just kinda fell into this job. There have definitely been really difficult times and I've experienced things that just blow me away, but I think this is where I'm supposed to be.

One thing my job has taught me is that I should be doing so much more. I've got a LONG way to go, but I think I need to be an actual teacher for these kids rather than just being an aide. That's why I'll need prayers. I'm going to have to get a plan together so that I can move toward a college degree and I will have to be diligent about it because I am 43 years old and I only have a whopping 4 credit hours. Still, I know that if this is what God wants me to do, it CAN be done!

So anyway, thought that I should get back to posting and hopefully I'll post nearly every day at least during my month off. :)
