Don't Settle, Choose You!
I would say the last 4 months have been hectic - to say the least. Not only did I get Covid for the first time in October, I also interviewed for a job as I was recovering. This job was with the same district I currently work for. I would make a bit more money but the responsibilities would be completely different and the pace would slow down tremendously. I did like the new supervisor I would have been working under and the thought of giving up one area of my current duties was tempting. After reviewing the pros and cons of both positions, I decided not to take the job. First of all, my current supervisor and I have a very unique relationship. We trust one another 100% and we understand the importance of communication and laughter. We work hard and take care of our community and students while keeping a sense of humor and levity. It is so needed in the line of work we do. I was offered the new position and I respectfully turned it down. I wanted to show the district I was ready for advancement but in the back of my mind, it wasn't my heart's desire. I still work closely with that supervisor and he has a great person under him so it all worked out.
Don't settle because you think you are not good enough. You are! I would have accepted that position if I truly desired it. I could see myself in it for about a month and then regretting the decision as I would miss the pace and staff I work with currently. A door opened for me but it was not the right fit. It wasn't out of fear that I didn't accept it, it was just not the right opportunity for me at that time in my life and that is ok. I have zero regrets and always have my eyes open for what God has for me next. The sky is the limit, my friends. Choose you always! Be BOLD!
