A few months ago I told you that I got to sub for a special needs pre-school, And i LOVED IT.
It was very scary at first, I thought I would not do well ,But It went ok, and believe it or not I had a great time. Sarah is a OTA (I think that is what it is). With the Warrick county co op, She is the one that got me the job subbing for the pre-school.
SO about 2 weeks ago Sarah calls me and says "HELP ME" can you help me teach a summer school at WEC (warrick education building). I asked what time and at that time I could only do one week of it since I am working more at the gym. I was upset but I had already told Alicia that I would work at Fitness World in the mornings...
The next day Sarah called me and said the time has changed (GOD THING) Summer school would now be from 330 -430. I was so happy I could help with them all!!!!
They started last week and I was nervous, but i knew it would be ok after all it was only an hour. The first day went ok...the second day went even better and the third day went even better...(It is only Monday,Wed, Friday).
I love going to teach these kids. I didn't think that I would be very good at it. I thought that dealing with the kids at the pre-school and then dealing with my kids and working at the gym would really get to me....BUT I LOVE IT!!!!! IT is so rewarding. The hour goes by so very fast.
I have been praying that GOD would show me what to do now that Sloan is in school. When Jamie said that they needed someone to work the front desk at FW I thought well I guess I am supposed to stay here....Not really wanting to but it is a pay check....
I SO love going in and working with the special needs kids it is not like working at a regular pre school. It is so much better. I so very much want to get HIRED on there full time. BUT, I have to take a test called the para pro test for teaching asst. and the BOOK really intimidates me. IT gives me such anxiety to even look at the silly book. BUT, i really feel like this is what GOD is calling me to do. ~ I know that if this is what he wants for me he will help me to do good on the test but the stuff I have to study and know is so hard for me. Just righting or blogging about it is making me nervous....Can you believe that a book would do that to someone.? I know crazy.
I just feel like this summer school thing was so unexpected and me even getting to work at all at the preschool was so unexpected that I really feel like it is a GOD THING....HE is telling me this is what you r to do?! This you will be good at this is where i want you. ~ SO now what..... I guess I will just keep praying....
GOD BLESS

You are great with the kids! Thanks so much for your help, I really couldn't have done it without you! REALLY!
I think you r just saying that but THANK YOU....I think I will take the test.~ I really want to work with her I think it would be great for BOTH of us~
