Two weeks ago I got my first full time job after graduating college as an Educational Assistant. I know, it’s such a fancy word for teacher assistant, right? Nonetheless, I love being back in the field and doing something I am so passionate about. As an EA it has really been a humbling and great learning experience so far. It’s different from what I thought it would be though. I have come to realize that I am limited to a lot of things. I can’t plan and I can’t bring work to do at home. I just finished my student teaching so not having so many responsibilities is actually kind of weird. There are days that I am so thankful because I don’t have to worry about those things though. Regardless, I am so pumped for what’s to come and everyday I am thankful for this opportunity. I applied to so many jobs outside my degree, but I believe that the Lord knew what my heart desired and gave it to me according to His perfect timing. Also, it’s so nice to have my own desk! I feel like I have a place in the classroom that is mine.
Today, my teacher was out and I got to sub for the class. It was such an interesting, but awesome experience. It really put me on my toes and had me busy all day. Even though teaching has its hectic moments I still have so much joy doing what I do and I can only praise God for that!
