It made me happy to see that change is always possible, but sad because I just found out that the type of change I want isn't possible. Thanks for letting me know that things can always change.<br /><br />Take care,<br />LisaSweDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525116371460962546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382301657814799558.post-91994860705325218162011-04-10T22:47:46.911-04:002011-04-10T22:47:46.911-04:00Let me tell you--I admire the leaving the job part...Let me tell you--I admire the leaving the job part of your life so much right now.

As a teacher of 10th grade social studies, all I can say is that it's totally worth it and you will know that you are making a difference everyday. There will be students who literally need what you have to offer because they don't get it anywhere else. They will eat lunch with your or come by after school to say hi to you and get something off their chest. It's truly moving and heart warming and heart wrenching. If you can bring passion, learning, and caring into the lives of youngsters, then do it! We need more teachers on the front lines!! I will pray for you! Getting an MAT will be very rewarding!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475458653755548885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382301657814799558.post-50284771157428782252011-04-06T10:47:20.021-04:002011-04-06T10:47:20.021-04:00Lady, you are most certainly brave!

Stepping out of the "sure" and into the known can be so, so scary...but leaving something that is soul-sucking in hopes of obtaining something that means so, so much more? That is wise. :)<br /><br />I know you will excel! I cannot wait to watch your journey! :)bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317376256234568601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382301657814799558.post-22958794932540284162011-04-05T14:26:19.526-04:002011-04-05T14:26:19.526-04:00This is incredible news Claire!!!!!!
I've been...This is incredible news Claire!!!!!!<br />I've been in the exact same spot (as I've shared a little bit with you), and the moment I decided to quit my job was one of the best days of my life. Knowing exactly what you need to do, and doing it. I've never regretted my decision. I KNEW what I needed to do. <br /><br />This is totally drastic, and life-changing, and I am proud of you and Tony, for making it happen (That takes a huge amount of courage, confidence, and focus.). Plus, no more 3 hour commutes??

I think about things, on a much smaller scale, all the time and I want to be able to just do them...but I don't. You just went and pulled the trigger!

I made the switch from publishing to social work a few years ago and have never been happier! I hope the same happens for you with teaching. One of my favorite expressions is, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."
