Hello folks! I'm kind of surprised that I'm doing this again. I tried blogging a year or so ago and it flopped....terribly. I could never get into it. Today however I was looking at a few and thought "Hey I'm entering a whole new chapter in my life, it might be fun to keep a record of the grown up Jessica Smith's happenings," so here we are. I'm not promising it will be super successful but we will give it a shot.
So I think I've officially become an adult and it's freaking me out a little. For those who have not heard, I was hired by Davis County School District as a Special Education Preschool Teacher and will be teaching at East Layton Elementary school! It was a relief to finally be employed and to have a position in Davis. I love Davis County and really wanted to come back, but more importantly felt that was where I needed to be, and it must be because it worked out! I start teaching in 37 days but have trainings I have to go to before then. I'm so excited to start this new adventure! I've been studying for four years to be able to work with children with disabilities and now I'm capable and can be a great influence in their and their families lives! I can't wait to start!
While I'm so very excited to move on in life, I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm going to miss being at Utah State. I stayed in Logan for this summer to finish my Lowe's career in Logan, but also because I couldn't bear to leave yet. I have grown so much here. If I could come face to face with the Jessica that arrived here four years ago I wouldn't even recognize her. I have had amazing professors, wonderful classmates that will be life long friends, roommates that have become sisters, great church leaders, and life changing institute teachers. I feel like I have grown more spiritually then temporally while studying at USU. Heavenly Father has been with me every step of the way. I've had to rely on Him through some extreme trials and in doing so discovered my inner strength. To put it simply I feel extremely connected to this city and university and it's going to hurt to cut those strings. The college atmosphere is just so great. I'm going to miss walking on campus and feeling the connection we all had together of bettering ourselves through education. USU games.... there is nothing quite like them. I know that I will be buying tickets and coming back up just for those. Most of all I'm going to miss the Institute building. I have found so much comfort within those walls. I've loved being able to go in everyday of the week and feel of the spirit and receive the necessary strength to fulfill all of my obligations. If any current USU students are reading this, take full advantage of everything this campus has to offer, especially institute. Oh and who can forget Country Dancing! I may also be making trips up for that. I have one more month to suck it all in, and then to Farmington I go!
That's all for now, my goal is to write on my blog weekly so hopefully you'll hear from me soon! Loves!
