I know I have spoken in previous blogs about my job. For anyone new, I’m a teacher. I’ve taught instrumental music to classroom music, primary school and for the last 10 plus yearS high school.
I can not say this loudly enough, my best teaching experiences have come when I’ve had the best people to work with. And yes, some times those people have become my work wives/husbands. These were people who I was able to have those big belly laughs with, who supported and participated in all my crazy ideas and who ultimately pushed me to be better than I am. Plus underneath all that have my very best interests at heart (like a wife/husband does).
This year I have found myself with so much incredible support. I have a teaching partner who is amazing. I can honestly say I’ve never had some one who is so in synch with me and pushes me to do better, yet also celebrates our wins for our students.
I even have bosses who push me in a positive way and trust in my work. Most importantly, I have a colleague who is a dear friend. Who is so part of my families ‘village’, is also helping to raise my boys. All these amazing people that I currently have in my work life, help my work life be such a rich and enjoyable tapestry. Can I also say, my work relations makes coming home easier for my actual husband who doesn’t have to listen to all the boring details of my job.
These people haven’t been my first patchwork quilt of comrades and hopefully they won’t be my last. However, I thank them for ‘keeping me sane’. Work relationships and friendships you have at work, always help your job run that little smoother. I know for me those friendships and relationships have made a tough job that little bit easier and certainly helps teaching students a job worthwhile.
