Staying busy

I am busier now than I was when I was teaching full time, and I just love it. Since I am subbing, I am able to do other things when I am home instead of grading papers and writing lesson plans. Plus, teaching adults at nights and on weekends is more fun than I ever thought possible. I used to get so nervous when speaking in front of adults. Now it is easy. As a senior citizen, I am finding that life can be a lot of fun. Just going there and trying new things is a blast.:)

Substitute Teaching

After retiring from education, I never thought I would return as a substitute teacher. At first, I doubted my decision. I missed the feeling of belonging to one particular campus and really getting to know my students. Plus, it is more difficult to teach when you don't know the students' names. However, I now find that I really enjoy subbing. I just had to get in the groove.:)
