To whomever checks here (ha ha) for not posting, uhm, at all. :) If you do read this though, you know me a bit and know that I'm not good at keeping up with this place.
Since I've last posted, I got a new job. I work in a Pre-K Autism classroom. It's really an eye opening experience. We have six boys in our class, they all have different levels of Autism. It's really been hard to adjust. I mean, I have a brother who is severely mentally handicapped, this is so much different than that. My brother has never had aggression issues, nor any of the people in his group homes. It's strange being in a class and always having to be on guard. I've really loved working with these kids though. They've gotten under my skin and into my heart. <3
Home life is good. Juanito is playing baseball and loving it. He shows a real talent for sports. We've already signed up for Football for him, that will start this summer. Jose is going to coach. We'll see how that goes. He is a bit nervous. LOL
The kids are doing really well in school. Alejandro was accepted into the IB program and we had his ceremony on Tuesday night. He is so excited. I'm sure he will do well once he adjusts to the amount of work that will be expected from him.
Jose is really hating his job, working with the people he has to be around every day has become quite stressful. He handles it well though.
I am going to start taking classes again this summer, in addition to working summer school with my Autism kids. I need a few classes for my Bachelors. Everyone at school is pushing for me to finish school so I can teach. I'm not sure that I want to do that yet. I know that I want to teach, but I like being able to walk away as soon as the bell rings. The kids are still my main focus and until I think they can handle me not being around all the time, I will look into teaching. I don't have the time to dedicate to writing IEP's and behavior plans right now. Maybe in a few years.
I am going to try and start getting over here to post more often. It helps me remember what is going on in my life. My memory is failing me (another reason I need to finish my degree). :P
