Lately I have had some worries. I worry about the budget cuts that CCISD is facing, thinking that I along with others might be out of a job next year depending on how many people they have to let go. I worry that my writing isn't as good as it was when I left college to focus on work. I hope I can get some of that back. I worry about what I might do if I lose my job. Train into something else perhaps? I am pretty good with computers and have lots of interests, but the amount of time and money it might take to pursue a different skill set and career kind of scares me too. I wonder if anyone shares some of these worries.
Of course I am thinking about what I will be writing for my final paper and hoping that it will turn out well. I want to write something about public education, but I am not sure if that is what I want to do personally. I am not sure if it would prove as cathartic as something more personal which might be a reason to take it in some other direction. Time and revisions will tell.
I share many of the same worries with you! My Mom works for CCISD and we constantly discuss what is going to happen with the budget cuts. I try not to worry about everything but it just happens.
ReplyDeleteI do like your idea about writing your personal essay on something in public education! Gook luck. :)
I thought about writing about public ed., but I decided instead on something else because I was not sure how much longer I would be in the world of pub. ed. I am researching alternative options for myself and writing about how I will make a living and a life without my job...
