As the title suggests, today was quite a day. Why? I thought you might ask! Any day seems to be a long day when you begin work at 7:30 am and don’t get home until 9:00 pm…wouldn’t you say?
I teach Spanish in a public high school in Westerville, Ohio, which is just outside of Columbus. I love my job! These days anyone that is lucky enough to still be employed should be happy, but I have loved my job since I first started back in 2002.
In the evenings, I am an adjunct instructor at Columbus State Community College, where I currently teach a Spanish 101 course and a Spanish 102 course.
On Thursday evenings, I tutor a student from another high school for about an hour or hour and a half each week.
I get home and still have a list of things to do, but always manage to find something more interesting to do online. I mean, I’ve got to build my blog, right?
One day I hope to write in a more professional atmosphere and hope that this blog is another way to hone my skills.
I don't think I said anything about not being happy to have a job. People that are unemployed these days would probably tell you that you are lucky to have a job. I'm sure they would love to go to work everyday and be able to provide for their families.
I think I do a pretty good job at inspiring my students. It is up to them to take that out into the world and do things with their optimism. People should never sit on the sidelines and wait for things to change. We must make the change happen that we want (i.e. a single payer health care system). :-)
