Things have been coming along ok. I am still looking for a job. I have a few promising leads. However, it is hard to be patient when I do not know what is coming next. It is very difficult. Thus, there are days that I feel frustrated and upset because I have not gotten a phone call or email. I know I have to be patient but is sure is not easy.
Teaching has become frustrating. It is rewarding in many ways but it is definitely frustrating. There are days I come home and just want to sleep. I don't want to eat, I don't want to watch tv; just sleep. I wonder if I am even reaching the kids. There are plenty of days I question whether I even want to continue. Switching to the non-profit industry is something I am considering. I believe that my skills and abilities may fit that industry better. Who knows...
Also, I am now a contrubuting writer for another blog called Brother's Man Law. Check it out and leave some comments. My first entry is there so leave some love.

Teaching is rarely the kind of work where you see instant rewards. But trust me on this, because I speak from experience, you influence the students. Whether it's for the better or not, you have an influence. I've had kids that I taught 10 years ago in 4th and 5th grade tell me something I did that they'd never forgotten, but of course, I had. I've had parents from students I've taught in high school insist I be at their graduation parties for their kids because of the influence I'd had on their kids...which I'd not had any idea I'd had. So, it's there.
