Working

Well good morning, Saturday!

I actually got up at 6am this morning and it wasn't because my son started crying.  lol  I'm working today.  I was hired in on June 8, 2012 as a contracted instructor for Class A Training Center.  They started out as a truck driving school and later expanded to accept referrals from courts, probation officers, etc. to learn some decision-based curriculum.  I myself have taught Impulse Control (that's what I'm teaching today), and I'm half way through my first Controlling Anger series.  These are usually 8 weeks, but my class is condensed into 6 weeks, so I have two weeks left.  I'm scheduled to teach my first Retail Fraud class this coming week, and my first Building a Positive Self series (women only) starts up in a week and a half. 

I have to say, I LOVE this.  This is what I was meant to do.  Today, I have 6 people scheduled for the class, so I'll probably get all of them, but the class starts in 20 minutes and no one is here, as of yet.  Scratch that, Scott just walked in.  :)  5 more to go.  I love the smaller classes like this.  It's so much more fun for me and it goes by much faster for everyone.  And I just got to explain that to all three of my guys that are here, now.  Just waiting for my 3 gals, should be an interesting day.  I get to learn so man y new things about people that I didn't know before.  And I love helping people learn that they can change.  It's really quite amazing seeing the faces of people when something really hits them and they get it that things don't have to stay crappy in their lives.  It's hope that I see.  It's like someone realizing that they can get out of prison just by picking themselves up and walking out.  Unfortunately, it takes a lot of work, a lot of practice, and time.  People are impatient these days.  I am guilty as charged.  But I just love that my job reminds me every day that I can create my path and if I put in some effort, I can have a happy life.  

9 minutes until go time.  I guess I should sign off and sit looking bored like the rest of these guys.  lol

Loving life this bright early Saturday morning!!
