To the readers of this blog, I owe you an
apology. I do not know to whom this
letter will go out to. My blog (Google+)
was tampered with and the viewers dropped from the thousands to two without prior notification. Also the teacher I was following dropped,
nonetheless I am posting this message.
I promised a big reveal with the 2.5 month recycling
project in 2015. It really was a
beautiful mural that the kids participated in; and I am sure whoever visited
the day care center evidenced this work put into this project. All the parts to this mural was documented in
this blog. The only thing missing was
the culminating pictures to this end of the year project. Events occurred in my
life in which I had to leave the field of childcare, as holding this job could
not sustain my day to day living. Rent
sky-rocketed here in Seattle and left me no choice but to abandon this
field.
I found a flyer at a college for a summer course in
central processing which was a precursor for those pursing a surgical
technician course. This course was only
for two months with a very short externship.
I jumped in and completed the course and took the four (4) hour
exam. Since the externship was not long,
a friend who worked in the field knew the manager at a hospital and a volunteer
position was opened for me so that I could gain more experience. I now work at Swedish Medical Center in
Ballard. I love this job, and if you
read the short blurb I have on Linkedin.com you will know the reason why.
Again to you, I apologized that I did not keep my word
in posting the final project. My goal in
having the blog was to eventually make a book because at times it is hard for
new teachers to come up with ideas for crafts every day. To have a central place (a dedicated book)
without scouring the Internet every year was a means for me to introduce crafts
already tried, especially the ones that were exciting and successful.
