Today, I'm going to talk about my plans, goals, and ideas. I am the type of person who always has their life planned out for the next few years, so getting a chance like I'm getting is both really exciting and scary. We are getting to move back to near my family so I will get a lot of support.
Good news is I finally got my two associate degrees from a local community college, so my next goal is finishing a bachelor's degree in either psychology or elementary education in the next three years. My immediate goal is to begin as a teacher's aide in the district my children will attend so that I can build more experience and gain contacts within the district so that when I'm able to start student teaching, I'll already be able to get a contract without too much trouble.
Another thing I plan on doing is getting my children their own pet to love on and learn how to take care of. Responsibility is important to learn early, and what better opportunity than to have their own animal to play with, feed, and take care of?
I also want my own chickens and garden so that we can have fresh eggs and vegetables to eat, which saves money on our food bill. Plus home grown food is so much more nutritious because we will be creating our own compost and feeding our chickens real vegetable scraps. I'm going to be talking about little tips and tricks I've found that helps out little farm work well and produce lots of goodies.
Last thing I'll talk about is one of my oldest and best loved hobbies, fish keeping! I've had two different types of fish tanks, but who knows what I'll be able to keep this time. My favorite types of fish as well as equipment I use will be topics on this blog as well.
Perhaps eventually I'll be separating the topics into their own blog, but for now they're all together. Since I'm so new, I'll have to learn as I go.
