the journaling :
Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher. I decided quite late in life what subject I wanted to teach. At first I wanted to be a teacher, then a German teacher and finally I turned to something more scientific and technical: applied physics.
For several months I worked hard to pass the exam. Unfortunately, I did not manage to qualify and I had to put this "dream" on hold until I found a way to finish my schooling. I got my master's degree and gradually got used to the idea of doing something else with my life. Until one day I came across a classified ad from a high school looking for an electronics teacher. I didn't hesitate very long before applying. I had the job interview in July and in September I was making my first entrance as a teacher.
I worked in this job for a few years. I was happy, I was finally doing what I wanted to do: passing on my knowledge to others.
But the things of life decided otherwise. I became the mother of two children and it turned out that one of them needed my help. He needed me every day, all the time.
So you have to question yourself, make a decision quickly because it's June and I only have a few days to apply. Am I going to make the right decision?
Deep down, I know it will be a good one because it's my mother's heart that's talking, but I have to realize that there will be no turning back: I have to stop working to be available for my loulou. He has been diagnosed with autism and he needs special support every day.
Without really knowing it, I am fighting a battle so that he can have access to the same things as an ordinary child his age.
Today, it's been three and a half years since I put away my teacher's satchel and I have absolutely no regrets.
I pass on my knowledge to my children. And today, I am proud to be a mother who is close to her children and who can accompany them when they need her. Their progress and fulfilment are my reward.
