This week, I have been thinking and agonizing over what I will do from this point on. While I have not pulled the trigger yet, it seems that I have started to come to a verdict. The change will be a big leap. It will be a lot of work and time. It will mean less money and a shorter summer. It will mean goodbye to my friends and cutting off my establishment with current and former students. It will mean no AVID. I might have moments of kicking myself inside for not just coasting through a third year in Compton, while toiling over two new curricula, and wanting more free time and time to (hopefully) go to dental interviews.
Then again, I might just love my new place to work. I might see results within my first year at this new place, as I have just begun to see today. It's incredible, inspiring, and an opportunity.
