My big goal at work for the last two and a half years has been getting a professional designation so I could become state certified to teach pre-licensing and continuing education for insurance agents. I currently work a desk for a large insurance agency and while it’s ok, it’s not my passion. Teaching and writing are.
Ever since I got certified I have been putting myself out there to any and all teaching opportunities. I was asked by a local association to teach a class in December, but it was cancelled due to low enrollment (plus the course materials sucked). In January I was supposed to teach two ethics classes at my office, but there were problems with the course paperwork that had to be filed with the state so those had to be cancelled.
In January I volunteered to teach a class for the local association this month, and they sent the course materials, which I’ve been working through. Then yesterday they sent me the class roster, which means: I AM TEACHING ON TUESDAY.
I am so excited about this. It’s been a long road to get here, and Tuesday afternoon’s class will be the fulfillment of a big dream I had when I moved to Florida. I know it’s the first of many, but I am just so excited! And nervous!
