I've been teaching art for a few years now, and thoroughly enjoy it. I started off teaching a few privately owned art sessions with kids; now I teach both kids and old folks alike, and sub for different subjects in between at the high school level.

If I didn't love what I do, I wouldn't have been continuing on for this many years (yeesh, makes me sound old, but it's been maybe 5 years since my first teaching experience??).

And yet, I don't know anymore if I'm made for this career. 

I'm often frazzled and disorganized. I'm not a morning person; I get dizzy with sleepiness if I have to sub for 0 period... or even 3rd. 

I am almost clueless about school politics, and...

I can't pass this test called TPA 3. I've taken it 3 times now, and have received a non-passing score of 2 (out of 4) 3 times now. I've passed the other 3 tests in the series, TPA1, 2, and 4. So, what's wrong with me? Why can't I understand what is wanted of me in TPA3?

I'm devastated. 


So all I'm going to do is paint, and paint, and paint... that is all I know I want to do for sure, right now.

Thanks for visiting my site! I recently had it updated. Check out the cool logo up top by the amazing Ellen Bae! You can find her stuff on www.ellenmariebae.com.
