Stress!!

Before I get started, don't get me wrong I love my job! I get to interact with students every single day and watch them get excited about reading. These last few weeks finally getting to teach the 5th graders again have been fun. They even occasionally ask my opinion about books!!

I am very stressed due to the economic issues our district as well as all of the districts in Texas are facing for the next few years. I have already been informed that my job is on the line, but the nice thing is they will have to place me in another position in the district since I am no longer on a probationary contract. I am hopeful that I will still have a job in the library (since this is what I worked hard for for about 2 years) and because I LOVE being in this setting. I know many things will change no matter what in the next year or two but I am praying that God will lead me in the right direction.

On thought I have had is working on my writing skills so that I can eventually try to get published as a children's author. I have several book ideas floating around and will share more if anything ever comes of the writing aspect of my life.

To any of my friends and family that may read this, please know that I love your help and support and HOPE to still be able to find a house of my own in the very near future. I also know that many who read this will understand and possibly be in the same situation as me. To those of you like me: my wish is for you to work your hardest and prove to your school that they can't do without you. Just know that it takes a lot more than just showing up each day to be an excellent teacher and I know you are!!

Good luck to all,
Megan
