Well, yes and no.
I have been a substitute teacher for a month now (although not working every day) and it has been an exciting experience. I think what I enjoy about it the most is when I encounter a child for whom provides me the biggest challenge of the day and how I have to quickly react and think of a way to handle, divert, and diffuse the situation. Although I had always thought of myself as a patient individual, I am realizing there is still more patience that I can acquire as children are quite unpredictable. So amazing trying to analyze them, figure out how their minds work. Totally looking forward to attending school and learn about their psychology.
But alas, substitute teaching is not guaranteed every day, and although it feels a lot like playing roulette, which would be excited for a gambler, I would rather a little more stability if it can be attained. In the span of a week, I have applied on two jobs. One from which I have already been told my starting date, and an interview was attended for the other. I believe the outlook is good. It was my second formal job interview ever, as I would not necessarily count Walmart... It was nerve-wracking, but I seemed to be able to provide competent answers to the questions I was asked.
But yes, four jobs. Substitute teaching would count as two, in my opinion, as it is with two separate school boards. That is assuming the response from my interview is positive. Woohoo!
My only concern at this point is less time for writing and video editing. But one needs money to survive and attend school, so... priorities.
