Reflecting on my job & life.

So I had been thinking lately about whether or not I really like working in an elementary school. I know most of you are shocked after that statement. You never thought I would say that, but I really think I would enjoy working with just the preschool age children. I don't know how to do that in an elementary school. After a couple of weeks of thinking this way, I was really blessed by one of my fourth grade groups. They started to show interest in learning and asking questions and being involved in the therapy sessions. One even asked what being a Christian means! What a ministry opportunity! Now I am not sure where I want to work.

What do you guys think? Do you like working for the schools after wanting to have worked in other places? Do you think you'll change after this year?

Hi Rachael! I am torn as well and I don't know where I'll be after the school year is over! I have enjoyed my experience surprisingly but I know that I don't absolutely love it! I like the school schedule and that might be the one thing that keeps me in the schools! However, I want to LOVE what I do and so I'm torn! Don't get me wrong. I like working with my kids sometimes I think that I would like to somehow get a little bit of both! We'll see! Good luck with your decision! I trust the Lord will steer you in the right direction!

Rachael... I forgot to add that I actually like my elementary school the best. They are the ones that just really get into everything we do! My preschool sessions are an hour to hour and a half which is way too long so I don't like it! And my middle school kids... well it's just easy because their goals are easy to work with! Working on their homework is what I do with them a lot! I actually like that! Anyway... there's my two cents!
