What Do You Do With An Opportunity?

     When we moved to Hutchinson, seven years ago, I was fully prepared to finish out my teaching career here.  I wasn’t looking for a job.  I had called a former principal of mine to let him know I would be in the area and subbing in the schools.  The teaching position basically fell into my lap.
      After five years of teaching kindergarten, another opportunity came along, to teach preschool in the same district.  Again, I listened to my heart and ask for a transfer, which was granted.  The two years I spent in this building were magical!  I was given the power to do what was best for my students, by a principal with an early childhood background.  She “got me.  She understood that I knew what my students needed and gave me the freedom to teach my students how I saw fit.

    Again, my heart is speaking, and I must listen.  I have submitted my resignation to my current school district.  I am going to another district, to teach preschool.  The people that I interviewed with were fantastic!  I was barely home from my interview when they called and offered me my choice of three, yes three, positions, all early childhood!  I listened to my heart.  It told me it was time to go.  On to a new adventure!
