Minor Frustrations
Lately I've found myself in a thought struggle, mainly about my minor. I know God is leading me towards students, namely in the public school system. I know God is calling me towards physical education as my major. The problem lies within all that. My major requires a minor in education and if I wanna teach highschool, another minor in the subject I plan to teach. My frustration is that I got into physical education because I finally found something I am passionate about and would love to teach students. I just didn't know this degree existed until more recently. I am having a hard time deciding on that second minor because it means picking a major subject that I don't think I'll enjoy teaching. If I have to choose, I am leaning towards English (American Lit to be more specific) but at the same time, I don't know that I will really enjoy that. If I go high school, I will end up teaching that subject and doing what I love after school. If I go middle school, there is a chance I could be the actual Physical Education teacher all day and not teach a subject. If I knew for sure I was gonna go towards middle school I could minor in the amazing subject of health and teach that class if I needed to. I would love to do that class on a high school level but the wonderful Texas Board of Education no longer madates health in highschool. Thank you board for getting rid of my dream job. So basically I compromise my dream job in the aspect of age(wanting to work with highschool but going middle school instead to teach what I wanna teach) or in subject matter(going with the high school but teaching English most of the time). I just wonder why it has to be a compromise. I know life isn't perfect, but if I have to do this the rest of my life, I want to enjoy it. I just get frustated with the public school system and the way they handle things at times. I have a little bit of time to choose which path to take, but sometimes I get tired of an uncertain future. God and I discuss this topic a lot...usually with very little answers, but a lot of comfort in knowing He will take me down the road I need to be on. All this to say that I am soooo majorly in love with my major. It is sent directly from God to me and I enjoy my class so much. It is a lot of work but I enjoy it. The last month we have been discusing motor learning and biomechanics. I have found these subjects riveting and school has never been that interesting to me before. I am eternally grateful to God for giving me the major i am in love with. I have so much fun in that class. I just wonder what He is going to do with the rest of my time in school.
