If I Could Work Anywhere Right Now, I Would Work... (Prompt #2)


...exactly where I work. Yes, the cheesy answer is actually the real answer. I never would have imagined that I would find a job that I truly loved and it finally happened. The funny thing is that it is because of the students and the students only. I guess I could have ended up at any school and would have been find if I had the opportunity to work with the students that I worked with this year. I loved waking up for work every day and even days where I ended up in a poor mood there were still so many things that I absolutely adored about the day. Now that the students are gone though and it is just us adults in the building it's another story...so, what job would I pick for the summer?

I would love to be some sort of personal chef to a excessively well-to-do family that is sailing around the Greek Islands. They would give me unlimited money to buy the best food to prepare them every night and the rest of my time would be free. It's crazy that jobs like that actually exist...and that I haven't found one yet for the summer. Otherwise, just as one of my students answered, I would love to work at an ice cream stand. Sure, I'd be on the old side of the usual worker there but I'd get free ice cream all the time and I'd be making so many people's day in the process.

There are so many other jobs that I've considered going after in my life and if I didn't love teaching so much I probably would still consider being a journalist full time, or working for Outward Bound. Give it a while though and I might just go ahead and answer this exactly how I want to; If I could work anywhere right now, I would work at the small school that I created and that I run.
