Honestly, I'm not certain I have experienced that "ah-ha" moment. I do believe I have received confirmation on more than one occasion. A month after I left my "industry", the dental practice I had been with nearly ten years, sold the practice to a management firm. My husband and children have enjoyed having me around during school breaks, on snow days, and at extracurricular activities in the evening. In terms of my students, I have most recently had one student enthusiastically approach me and state she knew what she wanted to do. Her goal is to graduate as a CNA, go to college, and become a Nurse Practitioner. This particular student has really changed...she's much more involved and "serious" in my classroom now. Currently, I am in the final days of my employability unit and a student commented on how she attempted to put many things to use she had recently learned in my class during her student council interview. The thought of me impacting these young people in such a positive way fills me with gratitude.
Our HOSA Club has drastically grown this year! My career pathway program is HUGE. I have 31 or 32 students in each of my 6 classes. GREAT things are in the making!!! :o)
