A change is comin

Well I want to stop teaching kids. I am just not feeeling it anymore. It is hard to teach but when you are talking about ESl student the difficulity just goes up 100 fold. So I am thinking about taching adults. The thing is I do not want to teach English. I do not LOVE English. I need to teach with a passion and I am not passionate about English. Yeah I love to read but to teach it is another thing altogether.

Ok so what to teach, Education………..I have been teaching forever. I know many schools here have Education programs but when I look at the teachers they produce I do not think I want my name connected to those programs in any way.

So what do I do????? I need to do something I love. I need to do something I have a true interest in. HUMM maybe how to read a blog 101. I can do that easily.  I started thinking about the teachers I had while I was in school. The ones I really enjoyed were the one everyone had to take. I loved science, history, and speech.  Did I like them enough to want to make a career out of them? NAh

I guess I will have to think about that some more. I am thinking about moving. I do like living overseas but I want to see people that look more like me. I know alot of people move for the sole purpose of being around Arabs. Not to disrespect any one that is Arab but I am just not feeling them all that much. Like I said the Islam here is not all that so I can not say I am here for Islam.  I have found some nice Arab people but they are few and far between. I think working in a  100% Arabs school has made me long for something new. I want to look at people that look like me for a bit. I saw a school online and looked at the staff page and fell in love with a school. The entire staff looked like me. Blk American women, they were all smiles and seemed to be so happy. I was like wow I need that. Some where dressed in Africian garb some like American others looked like Arfican Muslims, but as I read the bios I found that they were all American that moved overseas. I am really feeling this place. I know yall think this woman is sick and crazy………YUP!!!! I am, I do not know why but today I feel like If I stay here another year I will scream. I think it is the job. This has been the week from He@@. We did not have a spring break and I am feeling the affects of not having time off.  I know I just wrote a post about why I am here and I still do not wan tto go home and I still like the life I have . I do not think I will spend the rest of my days in UAE or any Arab country. I will inshaallah spend many many more years overseas. I just have to find my spot in the world. I had two job offers in Qater and I think I will turn them down. I know that will be a change but really all that will change is my address. I am sure it will be more of the same things I have here.

In a few weeks when you read I am still here not even thinking of movin you will know that I get antsy in the spring. Every spring I want to move. I need something new. I get restless. So more than likely I am just talking out the side of my mouth or tying with the wrong fingers…….. So do not take this post seriously……other than the part that I really do want to see more people that look like me. I really do
