New Job, Who Dis?

[TheFellowsheep]

After being stuck in customer service for so long... I'm finally in a different field! I never thought I'd do this, to be honest. I'm gonna be a preschool teacher's assistant! I'm so excited. Not looking forward to getting sick again... But the rest will be a welcome challenge. Have any of you gotten new jobs recently? Or wanna brag about your awesome field?

Working with little ones can be exhausting but so rewarding... you are making an impact for life, their lives.

Customer service is also a stressful job so maybe it actually will be more rewarding working with the preschool? Congratulations!

Hey that's wonderful!!

I still remember interactions with my pre-school teachers. It's amazing and important how you'll touch the lives and create memories for the little people who will one day become big people and will remember you!

When do you start?

[TheFellowsheep]

Yeah, they're both taxing in different ways. Although, I think this'll help with my insomnia, haha. I don't have a specific start date since I gotta get through a TB test, background checks, and fingerprinting but I'm hoping I'll have all of this done by next week so I can start Monday or somethin'. Fingers crossed things don't move at a snail's pace!

I'm both super excited and nervous about what kiddos will remember. Hoping I'll be able to help them mostly have a good time and get some foundational skills at self-regulation. I'm so excited to learn and grow with 'em. I don't remember my preschool teachers that well, but I do remember the experiences I had while there! I'm also excited cause I'm in the class that's gonna work on the outdoor veggie and fruit garden!!

Oh, working in the garden is so much fun! Especially when they start to get to see the plants growing & the flowers on the fruit trees becoming fruit they can eat!

That's amazing!! Congrats on the new job! I bet it's going to be so fun working with all of the little kiddos! :3

Alrighty, I just wrapped up true day 1. Ohmylord no one told me Id be talking nonstop. I have never talked this much in my life and I don't know how to shut up! Like started talking immediately after a tonsillectomy type of can't shut up. But my gods, you talk. All. The. Time. As a preschool teacher.

I haven't been there long enough yet for the crazy to come out in the parents, lol. But I have been warned we've got a couple. It's been a total blast! The kids really are swell, and they mostly like each other so it's easy.

I'm not sure how we are gonna be able to follow lesson plans, tho, haha.
