I have GOT to say that the Black-Footed Ferrets are adorable. So cute!! *^_^*
Anyway, I just wanted to do an update, to continue on the revelations of my previous post. I was also hesitant to post again because I didn’t know what I could do that would top that post. I have a little bit better idea of how to accomplish my goals, but I suppose I should share those goals with you. However, I don’t think that would be a good idea. I’ve been working with Geoff quite a bit on this, and I need to start treating myself as a business, able and worthy of actually making a living that reflects the work I do. That means I need to leave behind a little bit of what I find so refreshing of the education world– sharing. To be successful int he business world, one either needs to be unique or to be damned good at what she does. I’m not damned good yet– but what I am for will be unique. I am more than happy to share it, but not online. I love the idea that the sort of work I’d do is not yet findable on Google!! I’ve searched and searched, and I can’t find anyone else yet who is doing the work I want to do. Very encouraging.
I’m starting to keep an eye out for opportunities that would 1) Pay me what I am worth, as well as paying me adequately for the work that I do and 2)Further me in my goals. As such, sadly, I’ve been looking out for other places of employment. My current center has treated me very well, and I will be sad to go… luckily, I’ve a bit of time before I really need to go. Besides, racking up more experience that will help me in the long run will be helpful as well.
I’m currently in a position that I’ve not occupied before– I’m supervising a Field Experience Student from Kirkwood. This is very exciting!! I will be a true supervisor, instead of just a Team Lead, and I will help someone else grow a love of educating others. I have only met her for a few hours today, but I think we’ll get along well. It’ll be really fun to try and be the supervisor… basically a cooperating teacher for a budding student teacher. That’s a really scary and empowering position to be in. She seems to be happy so far– I’m trying to be supportive, flexible, easy-going, as well as having high expectations.
I think I’m a pretty good manager!! *^_^*
Anyway, that’s a little bit for a day in the life, I hope yours finds you well!
