Education

Tonight I started a new job wherein I work with the Adult Education Program in the Logan City School District. I primarily took the job so that I could get my foot in the door with the Logan District in the hopes of getting a teaching position sometime in the near future. My duties include checking to make sure assignments are complete, grading math assignments (Pre-Algebra which I took in 6th grade) and helping the students do their math. The students are folks who've gone back to school to get their GED's. 
As I left tonight, I reflected on how grateful I am for the education I received. I know it could have been better and I could have worked harder but I really can't complain. It's opened doors for me and helped me to get where I am. I'm also grateful for parents who were/are real parents and not just names on my birth certificate. They truly care(d) about me and want(ed) the best. 
A good education puts the world in your hands and you can do anything you set your mind to. I know I sometimes complain that I don't have enough but tonight helped remind me of what I really do have in my life. 


Now for that legit teaching job.... ;o)
