I’m sorry this one avenue didn’t go very far, but from watching you with your children, I know you’re a natural teacher.

I think Penelope’s right that you can’t figure out what your path is until you starting moving in some direction. But it can be frustrating when you don’t know which direction will actually lead somewhere rewarding.

I have spent a lot of time recently trying to recast my own career and personal struggles as some mythical story, using the “hero’s journey” structure (not sure if you are familiar with it, it’s something mythical expert Joseph Campbell has written about extensively). Seeing difficult experiences as part of a set of tests and trials I have to pass in order to find some treasure makes those experiences much easier to take.

Not sure what your plan B is but there are many ways into teaching: private schools, alternative licensure/teacher-in-residence, charter schools.

Oh, Cat, I am so sorry!! It’s important to keep trying – at least that’s what I keep telling myself! Maybe through this process it has helped to narrow down what you would like to do or what might be a better fit…. (((((HUGS!))))) Joy

Thanks for the translation. I love the mean blue cancer-killing eyebrows on the guy. That’s classic.

Elliot’s not ready to read Narnia on his own. They’re out of reach in both vocabulary and theme. As for Beatrix Potter and Pooh, he wrote them off as being “for babies”. We did find Clifford early chapter books, Encyclopedia Brown and were recommended Secrets of Droon. Some of the Magic Tree House books are okay, they just vary so widely from book to book.

As an E/INTJ, I totally, totally get what you’re saying. I generally have plans A through G, and the hardest thing is when the outcome isn’t in your control. xoxo
