Meet me Monday

It is Meet me Monday with The Teaching Tribune!

The Teaching Tribune

This week the theme for Monday is what we are thankful for. Oh man, narrowing it down to 3 things is so hard...we are all so blessed! Well here are my top 3 things that I am so so so thankful for...

Now let me explain each of these things:

1. My husband. He supported me for 3 years while looking for a job, through paying back my student loans and through graduate school. He is amazingly patient with me and supportive of my dreams. I can not imagine taking this journey without him. He is without a doubt my rock.

2. My job. It has been a long journey for me finding a place where I felt supported in my field. I have been in multiple roles/positions in the school setting. I worked as a para-pro in an Autistic classroom. I have the utmost respect for anyone in this field. It was hard emotionally, physically and mentally everyday. I worked at a Charter school where I was disrespected as a teacher and given NO financial or classroom support. I worked in a grant funded program that was AMAZING, but I worried everyday if my program would be cut. I am so thankful to be where I am right now. I am in a building that supports and tries to do all that they can to do right by kids. I am so thankful for this.

3. My health. My husband recently broke his leg while rock climbing. It has made our summer a bit of a bummer, but in the grand scheme of things he will heal. It has really put how important our health is, and how fragile it truly is.
