As January 2020 comes to a close, I think of all the changes I have experienced. Some good and some not so good. Currently I love teaching for an online company (you can email me if you would like to know more) and I am enjoying writing. Both things I can do from home. In the area where I am teaching the kids are on holiday so there is a huge slow down. It’s fine, I just will continue with my writing. I am also working on my photography skills.
I am no longer a 7:30 am to 5:00 pm teacher, those hours have burnt me out. As much as I loved that, I need to care for Avah first. Having a child that is classified as medically fragile changes everything. At the moment she is doing very well, we want to keep it that way. So no daycare, no just going where ever, when ever. We pack sanitizer, we ask people to not interact with her if they have been around ill people or have been ill recently. I cringe when random people walk up to us and just start talking. Recently I have been wearing my micropreemie mom hoodie and people are not grabbing on or touching her. She has been well so far and I am not going to let that lull me into bad habits.
So, changes have been both good and bad. The bad is, I am not making the money that I had been. It takes time to build up my student list. I am hoping that with my TSOL and TEFL certifications I will have a healthy clientele by June. I hope to finish one of my short books by June and my longer book by September.
