Today was the first day of my new job. I was really hoping
to earn my associate degree before I went back to work full time, however, life
is not always the way you plan it. Otherwise, I would continue to be a stay at
home mother working on my education. However, I’m grateful for the job I was
able to attain and for my new boss. He is the kindest man I have met. His
personality is contagious. I'm sure I could have found a job that pays more,
but I would not have had such a wonderful place to work at. One of my biggest
concern about working full time is how my children will adjust to me being gone
more often. However, my boss is letting me set my own schedule to where it accommodates
my life as a working mother. I love the atmosphere I work in and how everyone
is so kind and happy. I suppose it’s easy when your profession is in counseling.
I feel like those kinds of individuals just get it and are more laid back than
everyone else. Maybe they just know all the techniques on how to be happy and
laid back.
Now I just have to figure out how to fit my classes in my
new way of life. It’s a bit hard at the moment figuring out my schedule and
managing time between work, being a mother, school, and a busy calling. I know
it will take some trial and error, but I also know that I will figure it out as
I go. So far, I have really enjoyed all I have learned. I really look forward to seeing what this job
has to offer and how it will help me grow. Here is to a new chapter in life
that will not be easy.
