Do I wait, or jump now?

I have posted several times this year all about my job and how reflection is a huge part of coaching. Reflecting on your own teaching practices or even your life. I have done a ton of reflecting this year as well. I can honestly say I can actually tell I have grown. Grown as an individual and as an educator. The feeling is amazing (and sometimes makes me so excited and nervous I feel like I could vomit).

As we near the home stretch of the school year, many of us might find ourselves in the middle of a big change. You need to switch grade levels, you might be taking on a leadership role or maybe even stepping out of education altogether. You are making a choice. It might get scary. It might be really exciting. Just remember to hold your head high and think of all the positive outcomes. How will you grow from this change? How might your life be different due to this change? Is this something that has the power to reignite a passion you might find you are losing?

Be patient. Be positive. If you need to, make a compare and contrast chart to weigh the pros and cons. You might surprise yourself when you put it all out there.

Challenges in life make us stronger. Stay strong. Good luck.
