Decisions

I'm pretty indecisive.
I always overpick books in the library because I can't decide which ones I like best.
When I'm lost in my car, I panic and can't decide which way to turn
Lately though, I haven't been able to decide what I want to do in the future.
I think about my past and can't decide if I want to try again or try something new.
 As much as I enjoy acting like a kid, I am an adult.
Adults have to make decisions.

The decisions I make revolve around a globe of happiness.

I'm a list maker.
I make lists of what makes me happy.
I always hope these lists will lead to a decision.
These lists often just lead to more lists, so I'm not sure how effective they really are.
Nonetheless, I enjoy lists.

These are some of the things that make me happy:
1. Childrun
2. Reading the Newspaper on Sunday Mornings
3. Lakehouse
4. Family
5. Friends
6. Being Creative
7. Biking
8. Animals
9. Nature Places
10. Being Goofy
11. Spontaneous Dancing

I definitely could add more to this list. But you get the idea.

I like having energy.  I like running around and being carefree.   I like feeling good about myself and loving the world around me. I would rather get up in the early morning and go exploring than stay up late and go out.  I like to be me.

I have made some decisions.

I want to do what I can to feel and do my best everyday.
I want to work with children.
I want to inspire those around me in any way that I can.
I want to teach others all that I know.
I want to constantly learn.
I want to constantly be moving.
I will do anything that makes me happy.

I'm going to become a teacher.
Yes, I know, the job market isn't great.I've had eleven jobs in my life.
A majority have involved children.
They make me laugh, smile, and I often can't stop talking about them.

There's a lot in education that I think can be improved.
But I'm willing to take charge.
I want to save music and sports and make children better at math.
I want them to love to learn.

I think in my first two years of college, I forgot how to love learning. I wasn't passionate about what I was doing.  I was just doing it.  I want to expose children to many different things so that they can discover their passions.

On the first day of class, I'll let the children do "the first day of school dance," and then we'll learn together.
It may take some time to go down this new road,
but for once.
I think I'm turning in the right direction.
