Bittersweet

in the teaching world it's not often that we get to experience a lot of change unless you go from the classroom to administration. or from the classroom to retirement, but i digress. i recently accepted a new teaching position at mountain brook high school and i am looking forward to the change. while in some ways i do feel like i have received an opportunity to do something different and positive in my field, leaving homewood is very bittersweet.

i feel like i have grown up a lot while at homewood. i have matured in so many ways both professionally and personally. the relationships i have formed there with my colleagues, the students and my cheerleaders mean so much to me and it will cause me some pain to walk away. homewood will always hold a very special place in my heart and i will keep all of those surrounding the school and community in my prayers.

it is with great excitement that i jump headlong into my new career at mountain brook. i look forward to the challenges that will be presented to me and i pray that i will be able to make a difference there. i am very grateful for the opportunity.

so...here's to new beginnings...even bittersweet ones.

peace and love.
