My Schedule for the Next Few Months
All public schools on Guam are suppose to start on August 8. But due to the finishing touches on the new John F. Kennedy high school campus on Tumon, the school superitendent had decided to delay the opening day for all schools until August 20 so that everyone will be on the same schedule. This makes for a longer summer break for school personnel, parents, and students. This delay doesn’t mean students will have shorter school days. The department of education is going to compensate for those lost days by eliminating some holidays or shortening the winter and summer break this coming school year.
I might as well enjoy what’s left of this summer because it’ll be one hectic school year. Not only will I teach full-time during the day, I’m also going to teach GED (high school completion) at night and work full time on my masters degree at the University of Guam. Ouch! I’m in for a long, gruelling work schedule for the next nine months. The plan is to finish my masters degree in Special Education by the end of May; that is, if everything goes according to plan and I don’t get sick nor die before then. Plans and situations are always changing. I just have to prepare for those changes. I’ve learned not to grow too attached to one way of thinking or get too complacent about my situation. Changes are always taking place. Sometimes the change is favorable; sometimes it’s not. I have to be ready for both.
