Just a couple weeks ago, I remember the start of all of the back to school promotions. I was in Target for example thinking about how quickly the summer had passed by and how sorry I felt for all the children dreading the return to school. Little did I know, I would be returning with them. It has only been one week since I was offered a position as Spanish teacher, and I can say, without a doubt, that this week has been the most emotional week of the year so far. I think it is the stress of preparing to teach that is causing me to feel so unstable. I mean, I have accepted a job with a huge amount of responsibility and never in my life have I been so afraid of failing. Maybe it is the fact that I have about 5 bosses that I feel I have to please not to mention all of the teachers in the building, the parents, even the school secretaries.
As I begin this new adventure in life, I am trying my best to keep a positive attitude about everything because I know that simply my attitude can change everything. In the end, I have to remember that the worst thing that could happen is that I could decide I no longer liked the job and resign. But, I would still have everything that matters most to me in life and that is all I really need to think about. In all honesty, despite all the stress and anxiety, I still haven't given up hope. I know in the future, I am going to look back and be so glad I gave this job a chance. :)
