My New Job!
Well after complaining, whining, have a near nervous breakdown, and a general temper tantrum (well my husband says I did!) I'm actually LOVING my new job!
As much as I like general ed and having my own 20-34 students, being a resource specialist again gives me the opportunity to help students who don't always have a voice, and show them they can be successful.
The other thing I was very weary about was changing schools. I really grew attached to my principal, and several team members at my previous school. The thought of not having those people around me every day was very scary. But I'm fine! I still miss my principal...but I like my new one. And honestly the people I've met at the new school are very supportive and nice and on top of things in a way I haven't seen before. Several years ago before I was moved to my previous school, two teachers at the site before that were moved to my new site. They had been there before and were so excited to be going back. I understand now what the excitement is about. It's a great group of people.
I'm still in touch with old team members...as a matter of fact a good friend got my place at my previous site. I was very happy. Had I not been moved given the current situation with teachers in my district she might not have been able to get a job for this school year. In addition I talk to my old principal via text or fb almost every day...I think we've talked more than we did when we were at the same site! That's not to say if they decide to move principals around (which is bound to happen in the next few years) that I don't hope they move him over to my current site, but if that never happens I'm cool with it too.
Once again God has shown me He has a plan even when I don't know what it is or can't even see it for the misery I'm feeling. I'm so happy for my friends and family who kept encouraging me to stay positive and pray, because God really came through for me in a way I didn't expect.
Love and hugs,
