So here I am in my dorm, it's now March and we're on week 7 of 16 here at the University of Houston.
I have begun to put more thought into my future, specifically my career. I, of course, still want to be a History Teacher. But I also recognize that perhaps I will not be able to get to be one right off the bat. I fear that if I am not able to coach, I can't be a History Teacher. It seems that Social Studies teachers in general are for some odd reason meant to be coaches.
If I had to, sure - I'll coach a team. I may not do it well and I may cause the team to fail, but hey - I'll be a history teacher.
There are three particular districts which I've also considered working for. The first is very obviously the district where I went to school basically most of my life. From 3rd grade and up.
However, if that district is not hiring a teacher with my qualifications yet, I would have to look for other places. There is one district right next to my #1 District which should be able to be just as good.
A third district would probably be around where UH-Clear Lake is located.
I'm going for nicer schools. Not that I have a problem with a school if it's not as nice as the districts I want to go to, but those are the districts I'm most familiar with. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
I am really wanting to fast forward and become a History Teacher already. I have these ideas in my head of how I want to teach my students, what techniques I might use, etc. I can't wait to actually use these ideas.
That's all I really have to say for now.
Have a good one everyone!
