I’ve never had the time or money to take full-time courses, so I’ve been trying to find them. If you have enough cash to do it, I would love to see it.
My mother, a single mother of four, makes sure we always have the basics in all her homes—that’s why I can’t find anything that’s missing in mine. She’s also amazing with our children, helping us with all the little things we do here at home that make it feel like a home. She even makes us our own coffee and gives us the occasional treat (like a frozen treat for us kids).
I’m a bit of a momma, I guess, and I would love to teach my sister and I to take classes here, so I can eventually go back to work full-time (or part-time) and spend more time with my kids.
Well I have some advice for you. You can take classes for free, but at the end of the day you will have to make the time. If it is more than a couple hours a day, you might want to consider taking a part-time job. For example, I could teach a class full-time, then teach a class for free and go to work, and that way I would have more time when I teach the full-time classes.
The good news is that there are a lot of part-time jobs out there that will pay you to do exactly what you need to do to stay afloat. The problem is that they will not pay as much as you think you will be making, and because you are going to be teaching you will not be compensated for teaching you.
I’ve started talking to myself more, and have found that I am actually happier to be a part-time teacher than a full-time one. I think part of the reason is that I don’t have to be in the same place all the time. I can go to some of the same places that I used to be in, but instead of worrying about the commute, I get to spend more time with my students.
The other reason is that most of the teachers I know are on the “full time” side of having to be there all the time. I used to be a part-time teacher too, but I knew that I had to be at school all the time so I could keep up with my students. That was more for convenience than anything else, and it wasn’t until now that I am realizing that it is important to my students that I be there, too.
I am now realizing that I am also really, really, really happy to be a part-time mother. I just spent a couple of days of my last week at my daughter’s nursery school as she was recovering from her second operation and I am loving every second of it. I love being a mom, I love helping my daughter overcome her fears, I love watching her become a good, obedient, and very healthy little girl.
My daughter is only a few months old, so she was a bit more apprehensive about spending a week away from home, but in the end she did, and I am extremely grateful for it. My daughter is now at the age where she understands her needs, and I think she is a very sweet and wonderful person.
I’m glad my daughter is learning to make her own choices about life, and we are definitely making some big life changes in the near future. I have a feeling the day will come soon when she isn’t so afraid of the unknown.
