Job was cut!

Last week was really tough because I was told that my job was cut from Hardin County. I had a tough decision to make as far as staying at my school and going back to the classroom with a major pay cut or to apply for a GT district job making the same money. Finally, I decided that my passion and love is for the kids and the relationships that you can build with them through learning. I don't know yet what I will be teaching, but I am excited. What I am not excited about is moving all of my stuff and getting a classroom ready for August. I had a great four years in the CIA/GT position and I learned a lot that I can use in the classroom. It is so early in my career I realized that there would be situations like this and ultimately things work out for a reason!

I'm sure everyone at West is glad you decided to stay there. I'm sure it'll be a hard transition, but I also know you'll do great at whatever you end up doing. Hang in there!

I'm sorry to hear this, but am glad that you had the chance for another position!! I hope the transition is a smooth one & that you get more enjoyment out of it than you ever dreamed!!

We are very fortunate that you decided to stay. It would be a great loss to West if you left. If you need help getting your room ready, let me know. I'm always around.
