And what a term is has been!
For some reason, this term has been incredibly hard on everyone. As enthusiastic as I was when I started off this year, I am really struggling to pull through this last little bit. I was not prepared for the bombardment of my academic, social, personal and physical demands. But I am going to make it (at least that's what they keep telling me).
I have finally secured my first volunteer placement for the rest of the year. I am working with Family and Children's Services as a tutor and befriender. I am really looking forward to this opportunity. I was really skeptical of it in the beginning, while I was doing training, simply because it seemed to be a lot of common sense. But I guess when you are working with people who are so vulnerable, you need to be sure that everyone has clear expectations and understandings.
I'm hoping to send an email off to the highschool some time this week. I am very excited to be getting back into the classroom. I've been thinking about how much I love teaching, and I think that being back in that atmosphere will be the kick in the butt that I need to get my life back on track.
The next few weeks will be dedicated to getting myself geared up for the coming months. I'm sure that it will be another long term, but I can't wait!!
All the best!
