Oh Christ. I have definitely let this blog fall to the way side. I used to complain about not having anything to do. And now I have too much to do! My plate is overflowing and I feel slightly overwhelmed but even more motivated. Yay for stress!
So why did I leave? I've put my passion for food into the back corner of my mind because the industry clearly blacklisted me. I'm slightly annoyed but hope the marketing field will come around. In the meantime, I found what works for me. Kids. I've always been really good with them, or so I've been told. I don't really think much about it. So why let the talent go to waste. I'll teach. I'll do something good and make an impact on lives in a classroom. Teachers are the true heroes. And after what I've seen in a kindergarten classroom, that is the absolute truth. Now begins the true test of perseverance (yay I spelled it right!) in applying for a credential program. Personal statements, CSETs, and FAFSA, oh my.
On another note, I was thrilled to hear the words, "We really wanted you for our organization! We feel you fit the role perfectly." Not everyday that I get a chance to hear that. I joined a non-profit fulfilling multiple duties from admin, event planning, to management soon. It's great experience and though I'm not making $$, I am thankful to be in a supportive environment with amazing people.
And now when I've gotten more than enough on my plate, I get a response from a company I would love to work for. But now that I have kindergarteners counting on me and actually cheer when I walk into the room, I don't know if experience is enough for me to abandon them. I don't commit halfheartedly. Especially when it comes to kids. I have a feeling hard decisions will have to be made soon. Like they say, you can't have everything. But I'd like to try.
