After three years of being a Media-Technology teacher I decided to quit my job. My decision to quit had been a long time coming. For sometime about year to be exact…I had danced with the idea of leaving my place of employment. But my reality of financial security, bills, health benefits, and my students postponed by decision.
As my happiness and mental health started to suffer I had enough. I knew that it was time for me to make a change. No job is worth loosing your sanity. I started to realize that every goal and dream I had for myself could not be accomplished in my role as a Media-Technology teacher. My growth and potential was being limited and I had to be honest with myself. Being honest with myself about wanting to feel happy and purposeful at work was something I could no longer deny.
I don’t have a plan for what I am going to do next…but that’s the beauty about my decision. For the first time in my life I am taking risks and stepping out on faith. The past 29 years of my life have been calculated and planned. It’s time for me to dare greatly and be brave.
For all the people that have asked me what I am going to do next my response is, “what ever I want to, gosh its coo now”- Kanye West.
So stay tuned as I transition into my journey of the unknown.
Until next time…
