My last blog post here was on 15th December 2021; it is now March 2023! Boy – a lot has happened! Here is a quick update on me and my TEFL adventures…
January 2022 – I became a Hearing Aid user; as my hearing has worsened over the last few years.
July 2022 – I finished working as a Support Worker for the Deaf and made a HUGE decision to train as a Primary School teacher.
September 2022 – I started my Teacher Training course; still travelling over 300 miles a week!
January 2023 – I felt that I had made a HUGE mistake in becoming a Primary teacher; I think my mental health and well-being are starting to be affected.
March 2023 – My 40th birthday arrived, and I still think I am making a mistake in training as a teacher, but I only have until June 2023, and the course will be completed!
After I have qualified, I have to complete two years as an Early Career Teacher (ECT); but I do not know if I can cope…I understand why so many teachers are leaving the profession. I think I should have started my TEFL adventures properly after the Pandemic restrictions were lifted; I don’t think I would feel like I currently am!
Until the next time…
