Sudden Realiziation
So lately I've been considering a career change. I wake up every morning feeling slightly more sick than the day before and think of a million ways to get out of what I have to do. This bothers me because this is NOT me. I have always enjoyed children, being busy, learning and I'll admit it, leading things. With this said I'm constantly wondering why I don't want to go into my classroom and do all of these things. I thought becoming a teacher would be the perfect career for me. I think I was wrong, or maybe the environment is wrong. I am repeatedly analyzing the decisions I have made which can only lead me to believe that I need a change. Considering I love my husband more than life itself, have a great condo, wonderful friends and the perfect family, the problem must be me. When I don't have to work, I'm happy. This is a problem you see because I have to work. Remember the great condo I was just talking about, well that doesn't come cheap and I'm much too accustomed to change things now. So I sit and think and I just keep coming back to a career change. I realized today that I really want to be a psychologist. I want to focus on children and have my own practice. These are things I want, I need to get there. I need to stop focusing on trying to make teaching ok and just realize that I don't like it. I don't like yelling at children and I don't like being a motivational speaker for 90% of each day. I want to help children and families, I want to help others feel better about themselves. But, what I also want is to feel better about myself. Now I just have to figure out how to swing another graduate program on top of completing a first masters and teaching full-time. However, I do love a good challenge...
