My sister, whom I call Monica Geller, had a very good piece of advice.
She said that Brian just wants to see me happy. If teaching is something that I really wanted to do, I should be excited and looking forward to the process. I shouldn’t be moping around saying how scared out of my mind I am. That gives the impression that I am having second thoughts, and he will feel the need to rescue me.
I thought that was a GREAT point. I have been so scared about the change, that I have not enjoyed the fact that I might be changing careers to something more creative, exciting and fulfilling than what I have been doing for the past several years. I think it’s time to start getting excited about this! It’s time to buckle down and study for the Math MTEL, and interview more teachers and find out what else there is to know about the process.
It’s time to hold my chin up high, and start ENJOYING my future career from NOW!
