Returning to my 1st Love
Hello Friends and Happy Monday
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are now in the midst of a stress-free work week. Teaching has always been my first love, but the last time I actually taught consistently was in 1983, it was third grade in the Caesar Rodney School District. I loved teaching and even as a child played school with my sister and cousins, but after 1 year I left in pursuit of more money in Corporate America. I’ve always missed the classroom but never returned although it was my grandmother’s dream for me to do so.
Fast forward 30 years and guess what? I can now once again be called a teacher, I have returned to the field of education…yes, ladies and gentleman, I am now officially an Instructor for The Money School of Delaware (applause…applause…applause!)
Thanks to the overwhelming positive feedback from the previous classes I was offered the opportunity to become a regular (volunteer) instructor and I couldn’t be happier. I will continue working my full time job and will only be teaching once per month but this works well with my personal and professional life. #blessed
The Money School was established in 1999, and it offers over six-hundred free community-based financial education classes annually. Classes are scheduled on a wide variety of subjects and are taught in a hassle-free manner by more than 100 volunteers, all experts in their financial fields.
Money School instructors can hold classes at work sites, conferences, or religious and community organizations. I enjoyed teaching the Blogging 101 ~ The Basics and Blogging 201 ~ Learn How To Earn with Your Blog classes, but the Dress for Success on a Budget class wasn’t so popular so it’ll be put on the back burner for now.
If it weren’t for my two girlfriends attending the class I would have been all alone in the room. Oh well, I tried to float that balloon and it fell flat, “Move on Mary…Move On!
Thank you Cecily and Lynette for supporting me!
Thank you Money School for allowing me to return to my 1st love!
Go you!!!
Thanks sis, I really appreciate that!
financial literacy is so important + teaching is one of the most noble professions so all in all, I say you ROCK!
Thank you sweetie – such a wonderful thing to say. Yes, women and financial literacy goes hand in hand and when you can make it fun – it can make a big difference in someone’s life. Hope you had a wonderful day!
It was my pleasure ~ you are great inspiration and so glad you are able to go back to your first love!
Thank you my sis, I am so glad that we met!
Congratulations Antionette! I’m sure your grandmother would be so proud. 🙂
Yes my dear, I know she would be… Hope you enjoyed this wonderful Wednesday.
Yea for you! Congrats!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you very much!! Enjoy the rest of the week.
Don’t give up on it yet. Ive had classes where no one turned up and then the next time Ive run them they are full! No rhyme or reason to it at all.
I know it was weird, my first two classes were packed which I will continue to teach and present. Have a fantabulous weekend!
