It relaxes me so much I can not keep my eyes open. So it never became something that I enjoyed. I think I should give it a try again. Maybe a matinee. <br /><br />I have gone back to school to become a teacher. I am currently taking prerequisite classes to get into the school of education at USF in Sarasota/Manatee. The class I am taking right now is Intro to Education. One of the focuses of the class is to make sure you know what you are getting into and that you really want to be a teacher. Public education in Florida seems to be FCAT and No Child Left Behind driven. I don't know what the answer is but I hope I am up for the challenge. I am leaning towards working with young children. I guess I had to move to Florida so that I would have the time and inclination to have a career. <br /><br />Hope all is well with you and your family. Give everyone my love. Wish I could write as well as you do. Not one of my strengths. Come on down and visit this winter. Get out of the cold. xxoo AbbyAbby Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801900600998662552noreply@blogger.com
