adulthood is woe
I am having very serious angst about my life's path. I can't even claim to be too young for this shit anymore, as I manifestly am not. But it's stupid angst, because if I succeed in getting a teacher assistant position this year then I'll get to spend at least a semester figuring out the details of what I want to do, and if I don't then I should probably just give up anyway.
Basically it's just that being a high school English teacher is my most beloved dream, but I'm also much more scared of doing that than I am of teaching elementary kids, especially when I'll just be starting out. (And I really do enjoy fourth graders, they're kind of the perfect age.) So I'm gathering information on these various NYC schools and their elementary MA/S + certification programs, and I keep clicking on the links for adolescent/high school stuff because my heart wants it. Also I'm starting to wonder if I should look into Montessori certification instead, because I think Montessori secondary schools are the best places in the entire world, but I really don't need ANOTHER set of decisions to make right now.
