Loving Work :)

When I started my work as a Special Ed Teacher here in America, it just felt natural. I mean, I was elated to be here, right? So I was just like a sponge, wanting to learn, wanting to do more, wanting to be more.
One of the duties that we have to do is to pull out the student for testing. We need this so we would know the present level of performance of the student in the core subjects: Reading; Math; Writing.
I enjoy doing this. I enjoy pulling out students and testing them.
I think every time, I’d do this, I’d mutter to myself that I can just do this and this alone! Lol!
I also like writing IEPs. IEPs are Individualized Education Programs for the students with needs.  This is done yearly to our caseload (students under our care).
Fast forward to today. 4 years after.
I’m testing kids. I’m checking IEPs for compliance. These are the only two major things that I do now. 
Whatever our minds can conceive and believe, it will achieve!  
It was just a matter of time, but it did happen! The mental images coupled with positive affirmation and gratefulness for work led to getting what I wanted!
I heard that for us to manifest things that we want we need to put our attention not on “What Is” (what is in the present moment or circumstance) or “What Has Been” (what happened in the past) but to “What We Want”. 
We must put our attention and focus on what we want. It doesn’t matter what we have now, or what happened in the past, we just look forward to what we want in the future.
I remember I was just happy I have work, and loving it. But, every time, I’d pull out those kids for testing and working on their IEPs, I’ll just be grateful!
It just came as a surprise when after having lost my job AGAIN for the 4th time. See related post here.  :)
For unknown reason, I’d just find myself without work after every school year. Though, I was grateful for the change! 
What God was doing, I realized after, was He just wanted me to experience all levels! From middle school, transition school, high school, He wanted me to work with all peoples of different colors and personalities. And then boom! Opportunity, luck and readiness just collided! And here I am doing what I love most doing.
Whatever our minds can conceive and believe, it will achieve! Believe it! Live it!
NAMASTE.

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
