My new job is very different than anything I have ever done and is challenging me in ways I would have never thought. I am not used to the ages of kids I am working with or the demographics. Also in the past I have been involved in creating goals for both progress and the building of skills in a progression to create a program.
This job is way more general music based and is supposed to be just to introduce kids to things and not to create any fluidity in the program. This is a hard change for me because the kids have no interest in excellence. They just want to do fun things and bang on drums. However an hour and a half of banging on drums makes things really hard to find things to do.
I will figure it out but, it's going to take a minute.
However, I do get home in time to take my son to do things, I am going to some concerts, went camping with him for the first time, I haven't missed an event at his school, and have still had the time to join the YMCA and start exercising.
Another job thing, I don't take it home, obsess, or feel pressure to equate myself with my job.
I am struggling with some things in this new life but, I am going to make the best of things and live my life not live my job.
