A few weeks ago I handed in my notice at work. I’ll be at my job in the most beautiful daycare EVER for 2 more weeks. I haven’t learned everything there is to know about being a supervisor, barely scratched the surface. There is no doubt that for the past year I’ve lived a very different experience of childcare, stretching my understanding of what early childhood education can be. Though I struggled in many ways, I feel very fortunate to be part of this centre’s story. In fact, BECAUSE I struggled so much, I feel very fortunate\u00a0that our paths have crossed.<\/p>\n
The parents and my coworkers are very excited about my new academic adventure and understand that I can’t work full-time while I am studying and commuting to Victoria. Needless to say they would prefer to keep me. This morning I talked to a parent at work. He told me that he is\u00a0friends with a family that knows\u00a0me from working at Pooh Corner. What a small world. Then he shared another story with me and reminded me that sometimes the stars align for us.<\/p>\n
Now I’m sitting at home, reading for school in my comfy chair, trying to trust that the stars will align for me. And so they did: I think I just found myself a new part-time job at a University nearby. I went for this job interview a few weeks ago, didn’t really tell anyone about it, but had such a great time catching up with my old lecturers. I couldn’t be more excited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
