My name is Kim and I recently graduated with an Early Childhood Education Degree. Where I live, there were not many job openings and there are so many teachers looking for jobs. Therefore, I didn't find anything for this school year.
Instead of being upset about it, I wanted to start this blog in hopes of finding other teachers that are dealing with this problem or have previously dealt with this problem. It definitely is a reality check.
Up until this point, I have been in control of life. My life decisions have gotten me where I am today. It is a hard thing to accept that now my life and future is in the hands of others. I have always been a goal setter and that has gotten me very far in life. Although I have always been told that if I work hard, I can have anything that I set my mind to. I used to believe that. Yes, I know that one day I will find a teaching job, it is just hard to have hope when school started this week and I haven't even gotten a phone call for substitute teaching yet.
I graduated at the top of my class in high school and in college. I have worked very hard to get to where I am at today. I have overcome a few personal struggles in my life and luckily I have some amazing family and friends by my side. I know that I will one day achieve my dream of being a teacher, I just wish that I knew when. I am getting married in less than a year and I would like to start a family. My goal was to have one year of my career under my belt before the wedding, and that did not happen as planned. But hopefully, I can secure a long-term sub position and then a teaching job for the 2012-2013 school year.
