I was left in charge last week. Mom and dad went out of town to celebrate their anniversary.
It's been awhile since I've done the whole babysitting thing, but with the youngest being 14, I wouldn't exactly call what I did babysitting.
In fact considering our current situation I think I was more parole officer than babysitter.
The house is still standing.
Everyone was fed.
Nobody died.
Overall I would call my time in charge a success.
With mom away I also played the role of substitute seminary teacher.
My life has been filled with incredible teachers-- at home, at school and at church. From these diligent individuals I was taught many lessons over the years. Equally as important, but never the focus, I was taught how to teach.
For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed public speaking-- and teaching is pretty much the same thing.
My favorite church callings? Anything that involves me being in front of a class.
So- being in front of a group of teenagers at 6:30 in the morning is right up my alley.
They are wonderful youth. Being with them reminded me of my time in seminary (mostly how tired I always was). We started most mornings watching some bboy battles (my style of teaching is a little different than my moms) but always ended with testimonies being born of the principles taught that day. I loved every minute of it.
I've thought before about getting into the CES and trying to do the career thing- but I always get hung up on the financial thing. I've also thought about teaching in the public education system- but again, the concern in finances. But I'm starting to reconsider things now. Teaching is something I love and something I feel like is a strength of mine (but I could be totally off. haha) I love the kids I have worked with in my various teaching roles and find myself constantly thinking of them and hoping they find success in their own endeavors.
With my current lack of job opportunities I feel myself being drawn to a new career path.
But-who knows?
For now I'll just enjoy my new calling as Gospel Principles teacher in the ward.

i was a gospel doctrine teacher and i LOVED it! i learned so much...and you really should consider at least teaching for the time being. they're in high demand, you'll get paid, AND you enjoy it...
My husband has looked into teaching, also. Think of it this way. The church will always take care of you and you don't really have to worry about losing your job because of the economy.
Oh, and were you frightened by girls in curlers in your class?!
You should think about becoming a professor....or at least teach in a state where you get paid more!
