I am a little nervous, but excited. I got a phone call yesterday from the principal at Bridger Elementary here in Logan offering me a full time position at the school. No more job-hunting! I will not be a regular classroom teacher there, I am going to be the Refocus Education Specialist....so basically, I am in charge of discipline and positive reinforcement at the school. Before this time in our lives, I would have never even considered looking at a job like that, because I am not the "mean teacher" that kids are afraid of. But I am really excited, and mostly thankful, for the opportunity that I have to teach these kids (the ones that need it the most) about responsibility, leadership, decision making, and respect, and feel confident that I can be a positive influence in these kids' lives and can do it without the kids being "scared" into behaving. Wish me luck!
YAY! Congrats! Never smile...always have a scowl on your face. Just kidding, those kids will fall in love with you and you will LOVE them into being good. Let me know how things go :)
