In reply to Pamela Kopfler. Me too, Pamela! That requires a whole lot of patience!

I tried the teaching gig and moved on. I have tremendous respect for career teachers. Glad you settled on sharing your stories with us.

Thanks for commenting, Tosha. You have no musical ability, and I have no athletic ability! I smiled at your last sentence. So true. Music has always been an important part of ours lives.

In reply to Sharon Wray. That's hilarious, Sharon! Librarian is too closely connected to education. To truly rebel, you would have had to be a truck driver...or a movie star!

I have absolutely no musical ability, whatsoever, so I always admire that ability in others. That’s so cool about playing music with your husband. You know how they say, the couple that plays together stays together. 🙂

I laughed out loud at your questioning yourself about being a teacher. I come from a family of teachers and college professors and when it was my turn to choose, I decided to rebel. So I became a librarian. And the funny part is I totally thought this was a rebellion and that my family would be furious. Then I started graduate school and the first class I had to take was Intro to Teaching Basics.
Clearly I don’t know how to rebel!

In reply to Tammy Baumann. I think that's interesting, too, Tammy. It's funny how many of us taught Sunday school.

I think it’s interesting how many of us posting today had thought about teaching for a career. I too, taught Sunday school and confirmation when my kids were young, and while I enjoyed it, I’m glad I didn’t go down that route for a living either. I’m glad you are still enjoying all the things you’d dreamed of doing when you were young. (And what a great story about your husband accompanying you during your concert!)

In reply to Jean C. Gordon. Thanks for commenting, Jean. I wouldn't have the patience to be a special ed teacher, either. I have a couple of friends who did that before they retired and loved it. I admire people with that kind of patience!
