No doubt you have heard all the financial crisis going on with the school districts. I admit, I went back into teaching for some job security and now I'm not sure how secure that is. Luckily, I have a very approachable and open principal, so my friend Cami and I went down to talk to her on Friday to check our job status. Our principal was open with us and honest, which helps. It also helps we are the only high school in the district so we get all the incoming students. At least for now, we are okay for next year. That definitely could change, but she is hoping the numbers will correct themselves as far as teachers in the English department go (hint: people are not coming back or they are retiring).
I am a worrier by nature, so always in the back of my mind is this constant fear of whether or not I will have a job. It takes dedication on my part to let God handle it-since I am not in this alone.
In the meantime, the freshmen are annoying me, while the sophomores are slowly becoming a little more mature. We'll see how that plays out.
Missing Dad has been weighing on me more than usual. I miss talking to him, and I seem to miss him more on saturday mornings when the sun is out. Perhaps that is because he was usually home then? I don't know. I have come to the conclusion that I will always live with this ache in my heart-it will never go away while I am here on earth.
