After resisting the trend to post my every thought for all to see, I finally decided to write and somehow, you have managed to stumble upon my little blog. A little about myself, I am an English teacher by trade and by training, and I work in a public high school. I am also a parent of three boys -- all still in elementary school. I love both of those aspects of my life.
This is the eve of what I assume to be my pinkslip meeting day with the principal at my school. I received an email saying that I am to have a brief meeting with him during my prep. I am both sad and ambivalent to be laid off. I can't say that this has been my best year of teaching, but I can say I have had more great days than not so great. That's saying a lot.
I think of this job -- any job, really -- as a country that I'm visiting. I know the culture and customs after spending time here, but while it may be difficult to acclimate to a new place, I have done it before, and I will do it again. Life keeps moving.
