New Journey
I admire those who find time to balance everything in their lives. I have not found that perfect balance yet, but I enjoy the path trying to find it. This year has brought many unexpected changes to my somewhat organized and planned world. Change can be new, different, frightening, but also amazing. I chose to be an educator to make a difference, to help others, to be the change. The past eight years I enjoyed teaching first grade with wonderful co-workers and became very comfortable with what I was doing. This past summer, one of my many other jobs gave me the opportunity to take on a different role within my school District. I wasn't sure that I was ready for change, but after hours of making lists and conversations with those I trust most in my life, I decided to leave my school and 'my work family' to help a different school. Even after applying, interviewing and being offered the position- I still wasn't sure if what I was doing was right. June,
