Dream Job When I Was Little

Day Two Prompt: Dream Job When You Were Little / What Is It Now? #Blogtober14

When I was a little girl I always wanted to be a mother and a teacher. I always liked to play with my baby dolls and play "school" at home. When I got into my teenage years I never really thought too much about what I would want to be when I became an adult, I dabbled with the idea of becoming a interior designer. I loved to rearrange rooms and decorate them. My parents even told me that they could see me going into that field of work and being successful.

When I was a junior in high school I took a child development class and I got to work with young children and that really just brought back my passion for wanting to become a teacher and I knew almost immediately that I wanted to be a preschool teacher.

I was so determined to do so I started taking night classes at my local community college and shortly after my senior year of high school I had enough units to become that preschool teacher.  By the time I had just turned 22 I applied for a teaching position at local preschools and day cares and the lord blessed me! I became the lead teacher of the 2's and 3's class. It was awesome! I felt like I had accomplished a life goal!

When I got engaged to my husband, I moved in with him and left my teaching job. I now am a care giver to a sweet little girl. I plan curriculum for her and I can still say I love my job. I am still doing something that I wanted to do.

For the longest time I always had the desire to become a mother. I can feel in in my soul that, that is what my purpose is. I dream about the day I can experience the beauty of pregnancy. And to have a baby with my husband is a dream I look forward to becoming a reality. To experience motherhood would be such a blessing.

I think about my future babies, and what would they look like? What will their personality be like?Would they have mine or my husbands smile? Just all the little things. I can't wait to hold my child for the first time and to feel their little fingers wrapped around mine. I want to teach them about God and the love he has for his children and I look forward to being able to becoming a mother. My sweet husband, who is so kind to me, how lucky am I to have a husband who is okay with my staying home and being a stay at home mom? Very lucky.

I think its safe to say that I think I have always been on a path to work with children. What can I say maybe it is just in my blood? My mom and two aunts, along with a cousin and myself all work as caregivers. And I came from two generations of large families. I feel blessed to be able to say that I have full filled my dream job and I'm heading into the direction of motherhood. Only a little more ways to go until my husband and I start our family.
