A big part of my job this year is being the in-house substitute at Romero Academy. When I would tell people about my job this year I would explain how I expected to not sub until October and maybe even November. We have been working for about three weeks and there hasn’t been a week that I haven’t subbed at Romero. It’s not like I didn’t know that this would be a part of my job, cause I did, I guess it’s more annoying than my pride will allow me to admit.
I am not having the best time in my role right now, and to be honest, subbing for the upper grades has been the saving grace of my weeks. Last year I was a missionary that teaches Catechism in one way or another. This program started in NYC and expanded to Cincinnati this past year. There was a lot of growing pains and annoyances that the four of us last year felt, with it being that our bosses and people we reported to last year were in NYC and we lived in Cincinnati. I think we had bad support our year as missionaries here in Cincinnati. So when I wanted to stay, it was to be an open line of support for whoever the missionaries would be.
Anyway, one of the roles that I have is “manager” of the after school program which puts me in a position that is directly in charge of the missionaries. So that’s fun. I want to support them as much as I can, I don’t want to add to their cross, so please pray for me within this, that I support and don’t add, and please pray for them.
Tomorrow I work at BLOC for 12 hours. I got a second job because I love the environment of a coffee shop, and also because I wanted to show Moira that I’d be willing to work multiple jobs if it meant I could support a potential future family. *chuckle* Anyway, I PROMISE I will write more tomorrow. See you tomorrow guys and also
See you in the Eucharist dear fellow traveler
