Back to School

Here I am, back in University as a mature student. I had pretty much settled into just continueing with my job as an Education Worker in the Elementary School that I am employed at. I work with native children from three different First Nations, but I mostly deal with children from the First Nation where I grew up, so I know what it is like for them. It is my job to keep everyone happy; that includes the parents, teachers, and most importantly, the children. Than this opportunity came up; a chance to keep working and go for my B.Ed right in my community. It took some serious thought and wondered if this was something that I really wanted. With a little push from a good friend of mine, she convinced me to apply. I will be forever grateful to her. So here I am. Now I think about all the doors that will open up for me once I get my hands on that degree. I will have the opportunity to devote my time in teaching native children all about their culture and be proud of who they are, and what they have to offer.
