I was a teacher in the midlands years ago. Unemployment for a number of years & illness wasn't great. I'd slept ruff even, went to hospital & then lived for a number of years in a housing assosition flat. At first when I was unable to get a job in the North west after teaching in the midlands I used to play guitar a lot, run from West Kirkby to New Brighton & back in the Wirral. I was awake for hours writing songs, poetry, running, playing golf all on unemployment benefit. I didn't see people for years & didn't even goto the pub ! So yeah I am a teaching assistant & it is a second chance for me in life ! Signing on the dole week in week out is demoralising but it is amazing what you can do for no money at all ! Jogging is free ! hitting a few golf balls about #3. Traing a local football side of U15 kids in Chester free & rewarding. I also confess to playing for about 3 different cricket teams. I bought a car with the money I had left & then drove to caldy & they were really kind & let me play. I couldn't afford to pay the cricket fees at Neston so I turned up & netted with the side, I did the same with Chester Boughton Hall. I apologise for my behaviour which was weird but I was stressed, demoralised & unable to get employment ! But sport & music is FREE ! which is great. All the best Jonathan P.

Oh I know!! I have several friends who are teacher's assistants, and my daughter's best friend tutors a special needs child. Probably harder than being a regular teacher! So yeah I am a teaching >assistant & it is a second chance for me in life ! Good!! Glad to hear that!! :-) >I apologise for my >behaviour which was weird but I was stressed, demoralised & unable to get >employment ! But sport & music is FREE ! which is great. Yes, but you've turned yourself around which is even better! :-) So don't apologize!
