Me too!

Hi Debbie,

A few weeks ago, at the beginning of the year, I'd posted a message w/ the
same sentiments. I was so nervous and anxious about entering the whole sub
lifestyle. I was worried about so much, especially
the unstable and dynamic
nature of the job.

But, I have good news! I've learned to keep a positive, eager attitude about
it all, and to treat each day as a new day to see a new classroom, meet
30-odd new individuals, and to be exposed to different teaching styles,
ideas and school cultures! (Advice that I got from some helpful "friends" on
this board!)

I've subbed at least once or twice a week since school started, and the
majority of my days have been good experiences. (This is partly helped by my
super-stocked sub kit) Anyways... I'm starting to ramble too much! Just
wanted to share w/ your experience and share an it's-not-so-bad story!

Bye!

Mel
