Many moons ago, before I was even done with college, I stumbled upon a teacher's blog. Her plans for that summer was to sit in a kiddie pool while drinking and listening to music. I think I'm going to do that this summer. I've earned it!
This year started off so well and went fubar. I'm very glad to know the company I was in. I couldn't take it anymore. I asked for a transfer to another school and was denied. I put myself out there. I was willing to even take a daycare job. I just knew I had to get out of this system of nepotism and bad behavior getting rewarded. It paid off. In September, I will be in a new district.
I challenged myself to make a change and it worked. I know change is scary. A lot of people going into teaching because it's considered a "safe" job. I'm challenging anyone reading this (teacher and nonteacher) to make a change. Do something! I'm not promising it will turn out good, but it's good to break out of the box every now and then. See that you're still alive.
I am very excited for a new location. I will post some ideas for the classroom very soon.
