Objective: A part-time position that will not suck away my spirit
I'm searching for a position to help pay of some debt but will offer a break in my schedule; love being at home, but love it even more when the rest is earned. I'm also exploring whether I should go back to teaching. I miss it, I miss the kids, but I don't miss the boredom or stress of teaching. Will these things have changed in a meaningful way?
Pursuing a job has been stressful in itself. It took me reading this quote to realize why: "The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude." --Julia Child. I've been afraid of failing, much like my first year of teaching: chaotic, scary, hopeless. By stealing Child's what-the-hell attitude, I recognize that I was putting too much pressure on myself. Nothing is going to perfect, and, even more, it's okay to mess up.
What-the-hell!
