A Complete Guide to Substitute Teaching: How to Find Steady Work, How to Get Paid Top Dollars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
Before having my first born, I worked at a daycare for five years, I have an associate degree in psychology. After my son was born, I decided to stay home for a few years; I decided it was time for me to get back to work. But instead of going back to daycare job, I decided to become a substitute teacher and teach whenever I wanted. I didn't want a full-time job and a full-time commitment at first. I just wanted to see how it would feel to get back into the workforce without having to commit myself full time to anything. After some research, my heart was set on becoming a substitute teacher. That was nine long years ago. Looking back now I think that was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love my freedom; I love the fact that I can work when I want to and don't have a load of responsibilities. But most of all I enjoy being around children. It makes me happy. In the last three years, I came across many people, most of whom always asked the same question. Every one of them wanted to know how to be a teacher like me. Through our local church, I started to hold a few seminars teaching people all about substitute teaching jobs. Recently my husband is the one who suggested that I should write a book about it, and this way I can help many more than just a handful I meet via those seminars. So this book is the direct result of that wonderful advice my loving husband gave me, and I think if this book can help just one person become a teacher, then I will consider my book is a success. That was my life story in a nutshell, but I know you are not interested in my life story but your own. In this book you will learn: What qualification you will need Advantages of being a sub teacher Disadvantages of being a sub teacher Three questions to consider about becoming a sub ungekürzt.

Helly Jo's Mirror: Six Pack of Courage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 254min
Helly Jo's Mirror is a story about courage. Not the larger-than-life heroic type of courage, but the continued kind of courage required to keep putting one foot in front of the other when life repeatedly slaps you down. It is about the take-a-deep-breath-and-do-it-again kind of courage! Keep-on-moving-when-all-you-want-to-do-is-give-up-and-forget-it kind of courage! Everyday courage! Helen, aka Helly Jo, and her five friends, together affectionately known as the Six Pack, all deal with life differently. Helen is a 64-year-old British-American with only a slight accent, who is struggling to deal with absentee children and grandchildren. She is riddled with guilt at the loss of her son, hung up on the problems of growing up in an extremely dysfunctional family, and seeing her brother commit suicide. It takes a lot of courage to cope with her own life, but her problems are also wrapped up in the problems of her friends' lives. Tessa, who is close to Helly Jo's children's ages, blusters her way through life with a vivacious take charge attitude that masks deep pain at being childless and hides a sensitivity no one sees - not even her husband. Sandy is the quintessential 20-something southern belle giving birth to her first child as she watches her father die and longs for her husband's return. Angie shares Sandy's youth, but is sex personified with perky DDs and an attitude to match, but caring for an ailing grandmother dampens even her spirits. While Josie is also young, her outlook is anything but youthful. Depressive and afraid to shine lest any man pay her attention, she has to deal with a mother who is totally her opposite. Her worst nightmare is realized when one of the Six Pack innocently brings in the ghost from her past that made her afraid of men. When she strikes out in physical anger she awakens an even bigger monster. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christine Myrick.

The Finger: A Novel of Love & Amputation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
NY Times best-selling author David L. Robbins (War of the Rats, The Devil's Waters, The Empty Quarter) creates a modern comic fable of love, depth and insightful humor. Wes Turner, an aging, careworn helicopter pilot in South Carolina, learns out of the blue that he is a father and grandfather. His new family has found him and embraces him, but Wes doesn't trust that love can come without a price tag. A continent away in California, Dante LaBella can't commit to his beloved girlfriend Natalie; he breaks up with her one too many times, then she refuses to take him back. In a moment of metaphoric pleading, he offers her the choice of a finger as a display of his devotion. Natalie takes him up on it, selecting the pinky of his left hand. "The love I want with you," she says, "the love I need you to understand, is forever. Nothing's forever like nine fingers." Dante recoils from cutting off his little finger. He seeks counsel from a friend, a local radio personality who inadvertently puts the quandary on the air. The reaction from the public is swift, loud and widespread as the cost of true love is weighed out in public. Most callers say it's a crazy idea, but a few, some sad and knowing voices, agree that true love is worth any price, even cutting off a pinky. "Yeah. With a butter knife," says one respondent. Another listener to the broadcast is the most powerful talk show host in America: Nanette Towne. Nanette convinces Dante and Natalie to be guests on her nationwide show, where in front of America she asks the question: at what cost love? Back in South Carolina, Wes, watching Nanette's show, at last sees the answer to the same burning question in his own life: what to pay for love? He determines the price love wants is for him to drive cross-country and make certain that Dante pays the price too: Dante must give love his finger. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Self Discipline: Self Discipline for Beginners Business Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
Self-discipline is a powerful, potent, and priceless trait of successful people. It's a quality people admire and secretly wish they possessed. Your ability to develop self-discipline will contribute more to your success than any other quality, trait, or habit. Your good looks, great personality, and passion will carry you only so far. But self-discipline will take you across the finish line. Self-discipline is the ability to take action in a situation, regardless of your emotional state. When you are self-disciplined, you decide what actions to take today to get the results you desire. You do what you need to do, whether you want to do it or not. Self-discipline helps you keep the promises and commitments you make to yourself and clients. You do what you commit to, and you see it through to the end. No excuses! Many people in sales and business often say, "I'm just not disciplined", "I was never one to see things through to the end", or "I get started, but then something happens, and I get off track". Those are the words of business owners who would rather make excuses than be disciplined and take action. Every time you make excuses, you choose to stay stuck in a never ending loop of famine and drought in your business. The moment your feet hit the floor in the morning you have a choice. Will I make excuses, or will I make money today? The choice is yours. Do you cringe at the idea of repeating an activity that you find difficult or doing a task over and over again in order to perfect it? Developing a skill that doesn't come naturally to you can feel like a daunting task. You start the process, but inevitably, you never see it through to completion because of a lack of self-discipline. The task may have become too difficult to persevere, so you give up. When you lack self-discipline, it's easier to give up than to push through to the other side. Discipline drives your actions, attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes. When you lack discipline, don ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Ferrand. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/146633/bk_acx0_146633_sample.mp3.

Blood in the Streets: Concealed Carry and the OK Corral , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
Excerpt from Blood in the Streets: The world is smaller than it used to be. We all live closer together, brushing elbows more often, getting on each other's nerves, causing confrontation to happen more and more. It is inevitable. When the pool gets crowded, people bump elbows. Sometimes I wonder what has become of America. When I grew up, we didn't even lock our doors at night. Only a fool would do that now. I suspect that the breakdown of society was caused by a combination of many things. Our families are no longer healthy and intact. Blood, murder and violence on television has desensitized us to killing in general. The proliferation of online pornography has taught us that women are not people, but simply objects to be used for our own pleasure. The criminal justice system has become largely impotent and ineffective, allowing people to commit murder, almost with impunity. And last, but not least, moral relativism has permeated our society, telling us that there is no right and wrong, no good or bad, that each person must decide what is right in his own mind. (Of course, in the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic, the right thing to do is to kill your brother with a knife.) God, the ultimate authority on right and wrong, is being systematically removed from our schools, the courts, and from the legislative process. As always, cause and effect reign supreme. Without God, there is no accountability and no ultimate punishment after death. The deterrence that once held the wolves at bay has been removed and it's Katie bar the door . Things aren't right with America or the world, and that s why I carry a gun; that's why I train; that's why I train others. The post-nine-eleven society of our beloved country is different than the land of our fathers. Sometimes it seems like the world has gone crazy. How shall we then live? How shall we then survive? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Dennis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/014507/bk_acx0_014507_sample.mp3.

Dare, Dream, Do: Remarkable Things Happen When You Dare to Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 428min
Whitney Johnson, popular Harvard Business Review blogger, has a goal: to help us identify and achieve our dreams. Her belief is that we can each achieve greater happiness when focusing both on our dreams and on other people in our lives. In this inspiring book, Johnson directs her attention to teaching women, in particular, a three-step model for personal advancement and happiness. She first encourages us to DARE to boldly step out, to consider disrupting life as we know it. Then she teaches us how to DREAM, to give life to the many possibilities available, whether to start a business, run a marathon, or travel the world. She shows us how to "date" our dreams (no need to commit!) and how to make space for dreams. Finally, Whitney's model brings out the businesswoman in her; she teaches us to DO, to execute our dreams. She showcases the importance of sharing dreams with others to give them life, creating your own "dream team". Rich with real stories of women who have dared to dream, Dare, Dream, Do offers a practical framework to realize one's true potential. In her mid-twenties, Whitney found herself in New York, where she landed a secretarial job on Wall Street. With no relevant experience, and a bit shy on confidence, she contemplated her future and her dreams. Through determination and hard work, Whitney became an investment banker, moving to the analyst side of the business, executing the plans she'd laid out for herself. Naively, she thought most women were following similar paths until she started talking and found that many women were not daring to dream at all. It was because of these conversations that she started a blog in 2006, which became the inspiration for this book. Dare, Dream, Do is full of remarkable stories of women, which will no doubt inspire others to follow suit. Although Whitney focuses on the stories of women, her blog is popular with men as well, and her advice speaks to either gender. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Saltus.
