I've been seriously considering the idea of completely scrapping the whole teaching thing next year and doing non-profit work, or something of the sort, mostly because I can't figure out how to navigate the education bureaucracy and there is no one with the knowledge to help me. But then, I read things like Evan's response to my "Affective" (ie, "Feelings") post-test question, "How do you feel when you think about atoms?" Evan: Bored and sleeping, because I mostly learn about atoms in school, and I am mostly bored and sleepy in school. Most of the time.
I giggled.
I'm trying to hang in there, and have done a remarkably good job of pushing the negativity aside today, just because I don't want to deal with it. But it's hard. I'm struggling a little.

Just as Rome wasn't built in a day (so the story goes), these huge life-changing questions aren't answered overnight. Think on it. (Dare I say pray on it?) The universe will align; you'll have your epiphany; life will line up. (I know, easy for ME to say...)
I have to say, I agree with Sarah. Maybe it's age that makes us see this a little clearer, although little Sarah is a wee pup, but time and experiencing life makes me a bit more patient about seeing or hoping to see the answers. Have patience and remember that every answer isn't obvious immediately. You may be surprised by the answer you finally get.
