I SURVIVED YEAR 1 as an intern! One more year to go.
I am taking a much needed and well deserved vacation. I'm heading out on a 3 week road trip with my Mr. Dood, Elijah Jackson and we are going to have a great time exploring 5 states.
I wish I could start today, but I still have a week of training I'm tapped for in mid-June. We will be leaving shortly after that and I can't wait to get this show on the road!
This job is no joke. It's a ton of work and 2 tons of paperwork, not including the extra 300 hours of field work I have to find time to squeeze in during the year as well. But I got it done! And I have passed EVERY State required test on the first try! Let's hope it holds out! I have 2 major tests coming up in the Fall that I will have to spend some time on when we get back.
I will start again in early August (or more likely, late July) but this time, I should be better prepared. At least now I have actual curriculum to work with! And data collection tools on hand to do my job. It iwll be nice to have what I need when I go back. This year was Trial by Fire, but I'm still here and my commitment to giving back to my community has not wavered (although I have questioned my sanity at times)!
Looking forward to see what a new year and new grade levels will bring with it. Thanks for still being here my friends. You are the reason I am still sane, determined, and dedicated. 🥰😍
