A lot has happened for me this year with work---some good and some very unfortunate. In the last 11 years, never did I even think of truly leaving Osky and teaching anywhere else. Mainly, I can't ever physically move or leave because of Joe's work. So it has always been in my head that I am a "lifer" here. This year, something felt different. I had a challenging year. I was/am getting burnt out. Teaching wasn't fun anymore, and I needing a positive change in my life. On a random whim, I was informed about a Math 7 (which is exactly what I teach now) position that was open in Pella. Without even formally applying, I reached out to the Pella principal inquiring about the job. That was on a Friday morning. By Friday night, he had reached out to me wanting to set up an interview for that following Monday during Spring Break. It literally all happened so fast. But long story short, two weeks later, I interviewed, taught at the school for part of the day, and was offered the job within hours. It was my dream job. But, after a lot of prayer and discussion with Joe, I turned it down for many reasons for our family. I have not been settled with my decision, and am worry I will live in regret. However, there is no room for that. So I am hopeful I will have a sign that this is what is meant to be.----and more importantly, that my children thrive and love their school always.
