HopingForBetter

Echoing what others have said:

For yourself: Do what you want to do.

Wanna write? Write, read, play with Chat-GPT, do what it is you’re wanting to do.

Wanna music? Play, compose, play with Musecore (it’s free), listen, go to concerts, do what it is you’re wanting to do.

Wanna art? Draw, sculpt, craft, go to museums, google art (it’s free), do what it is you’re wanting to do.

For others: Show them how much you enjoy it. Discuss the small, simple parts, if it gets too complicated, step back and focus on the small parts that makeup the whole. If it’s not interesting, only the one’s who want to will learn.

Here’s what not to do:

Don’t try to learn it all and become an expert in 5 minutes. I wanted to learn programming, and tried the free developer stuff online, but gave up because it’s boring. Later, I came back to the stuff I enjoyed about programming and enjoy it.

Don’t try to lie to your students about how much you know. They can tell, and you will feel fake. The wonder of, “I don’t know the answer, let’s find out together.” and “Here’s the answer, and that’s how it fits with this. Isn’t that crazy!!!” is so engaging and not only increases student engagement, but also your knowledge and gives you a fun teaching story about how you found out.

Whatever the goal, if you don’t have a reason to keep learning, you will stop.

Enjoy the journey!

Don’t forget the urine.

I mean, I kind of agree here.

I’d go full chaotic lawful if you’re mentality is “not a calling”.

Follow the rules and directives as given.

It also sounds like you are on the way out of nursing. If you’re not passionate about it, the job will eat you alive without a second thought and you’re going to start seeing more and more things that irk you until you leave.

I’m also in the process of switching out of a “selfless calling” to what I hope is a fulfilling career.

Good luck with your next steps, whatever they may be.

¿Porque no los dos?

I’m the mom/dad.
I’m so proud of my kid!
(I have no clue what they’re doing, I just know at age 10, every child has to leave home).

Someone posted earlier asking for the best means to not poop (and other requirements) for three days. Welcome to the next front page of the internet!

I prefer clean jokes: Muddy white horse took a bath.
