the sky's the limit!

i've come to the point in my life that change is inevitable. this baring true, i have so many options out there for me. i can continue searching for a teaching position, or i can completely change my future course. i've come to that point on the yellow brick road, but there's no scarecrow to point me in any direction.

upon learning of my non-renewal, i immediately began searching for new teaching positions. i contacted people to give me leads, i applied on district websites, and started hand-delivering resumes. this is what i have known. i am a teacher and it's what i'm good at.

then, after discussion, it was decided that i would go back to school as a full-time student. i would receive my masters degree in education and re-enter the field of education - making a few more dollars this time around.

after some deep questioning and conversation, more options came into play.

yes, i'm good at educating students. but is this all i'm good at? that is still to be determined. with my experience, i'm able to work well with people. i also question the level of stress day-to-day. is education something that i'm going to look back at ten years from now and wonder how the hell i can get out and do something else? and i going to be completely satisfied in my classroom of students day in and day out? these are also unanswered questions.

i've constantly pondered the airline industry, even before meeting gary. i enjoy traveling. i enjoy working with people. i enjoy the freedom to be myself on a daily basis.

this considered, i applied with a few airline companies. although i haven't heard from a couple of interest (and it's only been a short while), i was able to secure a one-on-one interview with a major airliner.

i figure i have absolutely nothing to lose. this is the point in my life where my options are limitless. i can make a major change or simply a small one.

right now, i'm excited about my possibilities. i have a lot going for me right now.
