Just like…

…riding a bike.  or in the immortal words of George Costansa; “I’m back baby!”

I haven’t taught science in 2 years.  My position at CCHS required me to guide At Risk students in their studies in a program I developed.  This year I am teaching 3 sections of Ecology and 3 sections of my At Risk program (actually newley modified program as we added another teacher to cover when I am teaching science).  I was so eager to get back infront of the classroom to teach science, now I am not so sure.  I enjoy teaching, but my passion is still missing.

How does a person regain their passion…or find it again.  I am not sure my passion is the same.  I think that my friends from my old school might be able to agree that a little piece of my teaching joy is absent now.  When we left the old school I didn’t know how happy I was there.  I think we knew deep down inside that we had something special, but it wasn’t staring us in the face. 

So, I am desparately looking for that spark, hoping to find something to spur me along.  Until I find it, I will keep pedaling along, smiling when appropriate and playing nice.
