No- not "you know who" in your class but rather moving in the middle of the year! What a nightmare! I had to move from <a href="http://pms.pasco.k12.fl.us/">Florida</a> to <a href="http://www.lexington1.net/lms/">South Carolina </a> right after Christmas break. I only had a few weeks to prepare myself, my classes, and my co-workers. This was one of the hardest things I ever had to do- other than child birth. You know- it is hard enough to have to prepare for a 1 day substitute. Try having to wrap up projects half started, testing, grades, units, writing contests. These are things that most don't appreciate. For many, a move is just a move. Time to start over- Not for a teacher!<br /><br />This is where my story begins...<br /><br />Wait, let me tell you a little about where I am now- and then we can talk about the "how I got there" story.<br /><br />Right now I am a <a href="http://www.krystendouglas.com">Educator turned Realtor</a> in Columbia, SC. For some, this seems like a huge jump. For me, it was an easy transition- <a href="http://www.realestateschoolofsc.com">from educating youth to educating adults</a>. You can change the course content but the delivery method is the same- Teaching! I really love what I do. I love seeing the "Aha's" when the right home is found, or when my clients really understand the process of investing. There are so many teachable moments in Real Estate! I love that!krystenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14596974923708452963noreply@blogger.com14
