has been the story of my life at work the last few days. If only I could talk about what a typical day consists of lately... what a reality show it would be! I really love my job... despite the chaos and exhausting part of it... I have so much fun. I love being able to come to work and get lost in it. If I wake up feeling a little down, as soon as I get to work, I forget. If I'm feeling kind of stressed about something, as soon as I get to work, it doesn't matter. If I just feel chubby one day, one of my students will tell me how nice I look. Direct quote from one of them... "Hey Tash, you're looking good today!" It's really probably not that appropriate for him to say... but I just say thanks cause I needed to hear it.
I am so grateful for my job... it brings me a lot of joy. I take pride in what I do and I treasure the relationships I have with my students and the staff I work with. I'm so glad that I made getting my education a priority (even though it took me a little longer than most). I'm also grateful that I chose a job that is as rewarding as mine is. I can't imagine going to work everyday doing the same mundane tasks... day after day. I love that I am done by 3 everyday (if I want to be), that I have summers off, weekends off, every holiday off and I get paid all year long... that helps balance out the okay pay.
I love working with people with disabilities. I feel honored to be responsible for these amazing students each day. Even when I'm stressed out and feel like I'm going to lose it... it doesn't change the way I feel about them. I appreciate the patience my students have with me. These last couple of years have been a huge learning experience and I will always appreciate what they have taught me. They have truly blessed my life.
