status quo


Have you ever
changed everything
and questioned why?
Things were rolling along quite smoothly
and then...
you make a big change.
Next, you wonder why you ever did
something so crazy.

Welll....
all week
I've been questioning why.
Why on Earth
did I decide to go back to work
Full Time?
Life was rolling along 
pretty well.

It has been a crazy week -
orientation and meetings all week
and required evening events.
I'm Exhausted.

For those of you who don't know,
I am a Teacher.
I am also a Believer.
I Believe in this school.
I Believe in the Mission Statement.
I Believe in the Standards of Excellence -
both Academically and Morally.
I am here because
I Believe.
I moved my children back from New York
 to attend this school.
I never Dreamed
I would have the opportunity to work here again.

All week,
I have been amazed
at the professionalism
of my co-workers.

I  will be moved
Monday morning
during convocation,
when flags from 43 countries
representing the student and faculty population 
are displayed.

I have the Most Amazing class.

It will all work out.  

I Can Do This.


(right?)
