When I started my work as a Special Ed Teacher here in America, it just felt natural. I mean, I was elated to be here, right? So I was just like a sponge, wanting to learn, wanting to do more, wanting to be more.
One of the duties that we have to do is to pull out the
student for testing. We need this so we would know the present level of
performance of the student in the core subjects: Reading; Math; Writing.
I enjoy doing this. I enjoy pulling out students and testing
them.
I also like writing IEPs. IEPs are Individualized Education Programs for the students with needs. This is done yearly to our caseload (students under our care).

Fast forward to today. 4 years after.
I’m testing kids. I’m checking IEPs. These
are the only two major things that I do now. I no longer teach students with special needs, but supporting teachers of special needs with their IEP compliances.
Whatever our minds can conceive and believe, it will
achieve!
It was just a matter of time, but it did happen! The mental
images coupled with positive affirmation and gratefulness for work led to
getting what I wanted!
I heard that for us to manifest things that we want, we need
to put our attention NOT on “What Is” (what is in the present moment or
circumstance) or “What Has Been” (what happened in the past) but to “What We
Want”.
We must put our attention and focus on what we want. It doesn’t matter
what we have now, or what happened in the past, we just look forward to what we
want in the future.
I remember I was just happy I have work, and loving it. But,
every time, I’d pull out those kids for testing and working on their IEPs, I’ll
just be grateful!
It just came as a surprise when after having lost my job
AGAIN for the 4th time . See related post here. :) For unknown reason, I'd just find myself without work after
every school year. Though, I was grateful for the change!
What God was doing, I realized after, was He just wanted me
to experience all levels! From middle school, transition school, high school,
He wanted me to work with all peoples of different colors and personalities. And then
boom! Opportunity, luck and readiness just collided! And here I am doing what I
love most doing .
Whatever our minds can conceive and believe, it will
achieve! Believe it! Live it!
Thank God for it! :)
Thank God for it! :)
NAMASTE.
