Trying to look forward into next week or next month is tough. I'm trying hard to figure out what to do but right now I just see darkness, no light at the end of the tunnel. That isn't to say that I think things are hopeless. On the contrary, it just means that I don't see anything...yet. I have to remember that what I'm doing now, I never would have thought I'd be doing just a couple of years ago!
If anyone would have told me that I would find myself substitute teaching, I would have laughed. I never would have thought I could do it. I can't judge whether I'm good at it or not...I'll let the teachers decide (and the parents and students) but I'm always mindful of the fact that I have an obligation to carry out what the teachers have planned, make my time there worth the parents' tuition and hopefully teach one thing that at least one student will learn for that day. It makes me really mindful of a plaque that a friend gave me with this saying,
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”
Who knows? One of these students might just be president some day!
Have a great Best Life day!
I have a friend at work who had his children born in Malaysia so they could have dual citizenship. All I could think of was "hey now they can't be president"!
