It’s time for another edition of Show and Tell Tuesday! I’m joining my girl, Andrea, to share a little about me. Today we’re all sharing what we wanted to be when we grew up…
My mom is here visiting and I asked her while I was working on this post if she remembered what I said when I was younger. haha! She said that I always used to say that I wanted to work at Piggly Wiggly. 🙂 If you aren’t familiar, Piggly Wiggly is a grocery store.
I come from a family of teachers (lots and lots of teachers), so I tried my best to NOT become a teacher. That’s what I remember saying for years when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I ALWAYS responded with, “Not a teacher”. For a while, I thought I wanted to be a dental hygienist. I always loved going to the dentist. Love the feeling of clean teeth, so it seemed like a great fit for me. However…I did NOT want to do any more school than I had to. Since I was undecided my freshman year…I took a couple classes that I really didn’t need.
My freshman year of college with an “undecided” major, I took several different classes in hopes I’d find the perfect thing for me. (Kind of a waste of time and money!!) I took a business class and loved it! But…I didn’t feel like that’s the way I should go. There aren’t a ton of business jobs out there if you’re refusing to take a speech class.
And…finally I decided that out of all professions-teaching is what I knew! Clearly, it was in my blood! I majored in early childhood education and taught third grade. In this picture our school was celebrating the Super Bowl with jersey day. (I was 7 months pregnant).
Now…I get to stay-at-home with my kiddos and do this amazing business on the side and all on my time. E-mail me at alittlebitofeverything83@yahoo.com if you want to learn more.
Thanks so much, Andrea, for hosting!! Here’s a list of our upcoming topics if you want to join…
The Piggly Wiggly!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
You were totally meant to be a teacher :). It IS in your blood! That being said…I can also see you as a dental hygienist too! So fun!
Just saying piggly wiggly is fun!
The Piggly Wiggly!! So cute! I love that you were a teacher–such an important profession!! :
Just like you, I tried so hard not to become a teacher. Here I am, a 5th grade teacher! It's a tough job, but I love it.
Um, oh my GOODNESS! Being a "beeper" at Piggly Wiggly is on my list, too! What the heck? Why is it so appealing to little girls? My husband even gave me a Piggly Wiggly TShirt as a joke at my college graduation.
My mom is a teacher and I DID NOT want to be a teacher either! I went to college with a political science major and ended up switching it my sophomore year…..to education. Apparently I was meant to be a teacher!
I love that you wanted to work at Piggly Wiggly!
The Pig!!! We have one in our town and that's what we call it for short! Our Piggly Wiggly is a great place to work and oddly enough, they've had some employees that have been there for decades so it must be a fun place to work.
Love that you wanted to work at Piggly Wiggly! I wanted to be a cashier! lol!
Ha – I wanted to work at a grocery store too! Forgot to include that in my post but I most definitely used to take allll the groceries out of our cupboards and "scan" them by adding up prices on my mom's adding machine! 🙂
We used to have a Piggly Wiggly in our town. My sister and I even had the stuffed animal! 🙂
Like you, I had several semesters of undecided. I eventually did what I always wanted to do, but tried not doing, TEACHING! It only lasted 4 years, and now I'm doing something totally different! Crazy where our lives lead us.
Was your father-in-law a teacher too? And did you teach at Marla's school? Sorry, that pic is confusing me 🙂 My family is full of teachers as well. I'm curious if our boys will want to do that with both Ryan and I as teachers. Piggly Wiggly…that's funny!
No, Tab's dad just came to do a little football thing. Yes, Marla and I taught at the same school. That picture was confusing!!
I couldn't even get a business degree without MULTIPLE speech classes! SO SCARY! Piggly Wiggly is so funny, I bet you liked it because it is fun to say 🙂
Fun that you and Marla worked at the same school!
Love your Piggly Wiggly answer 🙂
I love the piggly wiggly!!! I've been in several beach piggly wigglys barefoot buying Fun Dip 🙂
