Why junior high school teachers started blogging to get freedom

My husband is also a junior high school teacher. And I have a two-year-old son.

After giving birth to my son, I began to feel that it was difficult in the way I worked as usual.

I felt that way because my son was unwell.

Now, it’s hard to take a vacation every time my son gets sick.

(The absence is limited, and if you take many rests, the class will not progress.) ）

My son wants to be with mom (me) when he is unwell.

（It’s natural to want to be with mom.）

When I’m not feeling well, I’m taking as much time off as possible, but when I can’t take it, I think.

You need work to live.

I felt doubts about my work and the way I worked.

Family time is very important to me.

I want to work to take good care of my family.

I want to decide working time for myself.

I came to think so.

In thinking about work styles,I first reviewed how much I need to earn.

At first, I didn’t know how much.

So, I grasped the expenditure with the household management app.

The monthly cost of living for me, my husband, and my son was about 300,000 yen.

My husband and I are working together.

So I found out that the amount of money that one person needs to earn is 150,000 yen per month.

When I　know how much I want to earn, I will know how to work that is possible.

I longed for women who held their own events and seminars, and women who are independent and useful to various people in their own businesses.

Until now, I had given up on it, but I learned that I can stabilize my income by combining several businesses.

However, because there is a family to support, I was not able to go independent suddenly.

Therefore, I decided to prepare for independence while working as a junior high school teacher.

By blogging, I learned that I can develop the “writing skills” and“marketing skills” necessary to do business independently.

Japanese civil servants are prohibited by law from doing business as a side job.

With blogs, you can develop your post-independence skills without generating revenue.

The skills you have acquired in the blog can also be used for the work of teachers.

“Writing skills” are useful for classroom newsletter writing. Schools often plan and conduct creative activities. I think we can make use of our marketing skills in such situations.

You can acquire the skills to live in your current job and your future job! Thinking, I started a blog.

I thought that by writing a blog in English, I could connect with more people.

I want to expand my world by connecting with people who live outside of Japan where I live!

That’s why I started my blog challenge in English.

I was able to get friends who work hard together and friends who support me

I send out the state of the blog operation Twitter and Instagram.

I met many of my peers on Twitter and Instagram.

People who do their best in blogging

People who are trying new things

Someone who supports me

Their presence motivates me.

 I was able to meet people I had never met before

I met many buddies on blogs, Twitter and Instagram.

I noticed a lot in that encounter.

I was able to meet a way of life that I never knew.

It motivates me to become independent to know that there are various ways of life and work, and that challenging is not a bad thing.

I use YouTube for blogs and e-books for content.

My commute time is one hour.

Every morning, I commute in the evening to study by watching videos about blogs on YouTube.

Of course, I watch videos other than blogs!

I look up what I was interested in in the video with a book and make it a blog story!
