What Else Do You Do?

I’m always curious about the secret lives of subs. What do you do when you’re not managing classrooms and shaping young minds? Are you working toward any personal or professional goals? Is subbing your endgame, or just a stop along the way? How long have you been in the sub life? Any fun or unexpected facts about yourself?

Me: I needed a gig where I could study on the job. A friend recommended high school subbing. It’s been a great fit. I’m currently studying for the July CA bar exam, after being out of practice and chasing my own kiddos for over a decade. I’m also opening up a part-time mediation practice this year, which I’m really excited about.

Fun facts. I love the energy and diversity of my school district. I know I will miss these students. I hope to still volunteer once I’m back in practice.
