Because
there is nothing more emotionally rewarding than reaching out to young minds,
helping them reach their academic goals, and to just simply listen to their
issues even if it's just for one day in their classroom. So really, I only get
one shot to go above and beyond what I'm expected to do if I sub a class for
only one day. There are no second chances; do not pass go, do not collect $200.
The challenge of being a sub has left me wanting more. For the first time in my
working life, I can honestly say that I miss my job.
Having
challenges make me perform to the best of my ability. It's kind of like
cleaning your home in fifteen minutes before those visitors arrive. Oh, you'll
get it done, that's for sure. Even if it means you have to shove everything you
own that you don't want anyone to see underneath all the beds (out of sight,
out of mind). You'll only get that one chance to impress your important
visitors. Well, that's kind of like what it's like for me to sub a class.
I'd
rather sub than clean my home.
When
August creeps around the corner and I start subbing again, I'll revert to what
I just wrote to remind myself exactly why I missed subbing. I wonder then, if I
will want to clean my home rather than working as a sub. Hmm....
I
still miss my job.
