Since I finished school (a number of years ago now!) I've wanted to be a teacher, but never thought it would happen. I resorted to planning homeschooling units for my older 2 children to do during school holidays, secretly hoping that it would change hubby's attitudes towards homeschooling (he doesn't believe it would suit our children and we have a great Christian school nearby that is affordable).
Back in September of this year, he came out of the blue and said 'why don't you look into external study for teaching?' I jumped at the chance, found the University of New England in NSW, applied, was accepted (less than 24 hours after I'd submitted my application too!), and enrolled to begin in Trimester 3 on 28th October.
I am almost half way through my first trimester with 3 subjects and am thoroughly enjoying myself. Teaching is going to be so much fun!
I thought I'd create a blog to share what life is like with a husband, 3 young children and trying to complete a university degree. Some days are tough, but so far, most days have been great! I'd love to hear from other mothers who are studying and share coping strategies or just a funny story. I'll try and share some of my learning discoveries too and the exciting parts of my assignments!
Cheerio for now!
