At a loss

I've set a deadline for myself to get out there and do what I love with my job.  Sadly though, the world of education/sports and kids really doesn't seem to be fishing for me.  I don't understand why it is so difficult.  I've got skills.  I went to school and received two undergrad degrees.  (Elementary Education and Broadcasting Communications)  I also went and got a MBA in project management.  On top of all that I worked as a nanny for 5 years, babysat for 15 years, worked in a daycare/preschool for 6 months, worked as an assistant teacher for 2 years and am working for an University.  Yet, that all doesn't seem to matter. 

First, you must have experience.  No wait, you must have recent experience.  Then you must have the degree to back up the experience.  No, no, just kidding, you can just have experience in some cases.  Also, you need to have a license!  Yep, you need a license for everything these days.  In order to get your license, you need more school and tests!  Yes, tests.  The thing that is supposed to define whether or not you are smart.  Guess what, I am not a test taker.  I can write a paper like no other but I don't take tests. 

On top of all this, there are teacher cuts, minimal jobs, and everyone is fighting to get the same position.  Now what?  I've gone to school to do what I love and yet here I am.  Don't get me wrong, I love my place of work, I just want to teach!  I don't understand why it is so hard. 

I've always wanted to stand out in this world, make a difference, help the kids of our future, but that dream seems to be slowly slipping through my fingers.  I don't want to give up the hard fight, but I also don't want to feel like a failure.  It isn't easy. 

Maybe someday, somehow, some way.  If I had it my way, I would be teaching across the country, working in sports and shaping our future generations for years to come.  Maybe my way will come someday.
