We spend a large portion of our lives at work so I believe we should enjoy what we do. It's not always about what's more glamorous or what the job pays. Sometimes we just have to do what feels right.
While I was away I changed my career. I used to work in landscaping and plant merchandising and while I enjoyed the work, it still felt like just a job. A way to pay the bills. I was never particularly thrilled to leave for work. In August I started working at a large daycare up in North Burnaby. I completed my Responsible Adult Certification and fell in love with the children.
I did a science experiment with the kids :D They loved it!
While I love the children from that daycare I had to find work closer to home ~ I was spending 4 hours a day on the bus and that was no fun. ~ Now I work at a cute little daycare (1/3rd the size of the first one) and I'm settling in nicely.
