All change

Since my last post I’ve changed roles at work and I am no longer based in a classroom. When I first heard about this change anxiety kicked in big time and I really thought I was not good enough to be in a classroom and that I was I wanted and people were looking for a way for me to quit my job (anxiety me is clearly a joy to be around 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄).

However a week and a bit in and I’ve found that I’m really enjoying it. I’m able to plan what I want to do which is definitely something I’d missed. It has definitely been the kick I needed and while I still want to teach I think that at the moment I’d rather be doing my best to support children. Looking forward I would actually rather be in a pastoral role supporting mental health and well-being. This is something that I do not think I’d necessarily be able to do as a teacher in a full capacity. While I would of course and like my amazing colleagues support mental health and well-being. I now think this is something I want to take on as more of a specialism.

I know everything is baby steps but, helping future generations to be able to manage their mental health and well-being has always been a big thing for me. No behaviour is for no reason and if you just scratch the surface you will see this and sometimes it is about noticing something that no one else does. I know from personal experience people will see something in me that no one else does and nurture this.

As always these are just my rambling thoughts. Stay safe and look after each other ❤️
