3 Things I am grateful for:
1. Learning and Knowledge. Many times I feel stagnant and even though I like reading information type of books that would add to my teaching skills, I love learning new tricks from teachers. The feeling I have after leaving a workshop or lecture is a fulfilling one. I am satisfied and cannot wait to spread the new knowledge that I gained. so exciting!
2. Days off... the weekend just to spend more time with the kids and have a bit of a breather. Working is intense and I only get to see my daughter for an hour and a half every day. If it were up to me, and the fact that we need to save after spending two years saving nothing, I would be a stay at home mom or maybe have a part time job. There is so much I miss being a working mom so i am grateful for those days when we can stay at home with the kids.
3. Being a teacher. Not only am I grateful for the vacations that I get by being a teacher to spend time with family and friend but also being able to connect with students allowing me to make a slight difference and at the same time learn from them.
Journal Entry:
I have learned so much the past two days at this SENIA conference that I went to. It is the Special Needs conference that takes place around Asia and they bring so many teachers from around the world to speak and spread their expertise. I had so much fun being taught. I was thinking of getting another Masters and have been doing so for the past year or two. Now, and after this conference, I am positive that I want to pursue another degree. I just love learning. Learning never stops, does it?
I have listened to a speakers who was on the Autistic spectrum and another student who was ADHD. Both inspirational as the speaker is now a professor and an advocate for students with Autism and the student is now at university. People never cease to amaze me.
