Rent and Teacher Training costs
Donation protected
Hello, I'm Natalie from oh-myalphabet.tumblr.com. I've been serverely struggling the last couple of months due to mental illness and juggling school and now unemployment, which has left me behind on my rent this month and possibly the next.
In March this year I had a worrying depressive episode that my university found put about. Due to strict (and necessary) fit to teach guidelines I was given a choice of taking a leave of absence from my final term of university, made to seek help finally with managing my illness and the option to return after being declared fit to teach again before July 2016 or being sectioned and disbarred from teaching indefinately if I continued as I was going on. I chose to seek help and take a break from my studies, however this had serious financial repercussions as I had to give up my teaching job offer at a school that wanted to work with me after I'd become qualified. Without this job security I have no way of being sure how to take care of myself and finances.
I've always wanted to be a teacher since I was little, helping kids, like myself who felt out of place or were shy really come into their own. I'm never anxious working with children, they are always honest and curious. It's the perfect environment. until my episode in March, I was growing into a confident, exciting teacher -not the kind of teacher that is there just for money and not giving a shit if they learnt anything or not just trying to get through a module. I taught a class about zines and alternative culture, for maths I'd bring cakes and sweets as rewards and for visuals of the lesson objectives.
I am finally seeking help and making some progress with my mental health but finding a job is proving extremely difficult. I'm trying to become a Nanny or work with children in some way until I'm back to my course so I can buy materials and pay rent.
I'd really appreciate if you could donate anything at all towards helping me achieve my goal or even told someone else you thought could donate. I really want to become a teacher kids deserve and not fail and disappoint everyone because of my health problems of the past.
Thank you.
