Change

I was just thinking about changes and how much we as humans hate it. I think someone who can constantly change is amazing. I for one like knowing what is going to happen on a day to day basis. I also like to mix things up a bit it is one of the reasons why I am a teacher. I get the best of both worlds. Consistency and change, one day is never fully the same as the day before (that is the beauty of 28 sixth graders).
As things have happened in my life recently I have decided that change is a good thing. I see teachers who have been in the same spot for years. Never moving, never letting the pot get stirred a little bit. And these teachers are not only doing a disservice to the students but to themselves. I could be that teacher. I don't want to. But, I could.
I think what I am getting at right now is, I need a change. I don't know how big of a change I want. But I need one. I am just afraid to do it. I think I am perfectly happy where I am at, but I think I have grown as much as I can right here. I don't know what it is that I need to change, my hair, my clothes, my house, my classroom. . . who knows but I am thinking the pot needs to be stirred a bit.
I'll think about it and let you know what happens in the next few weeks. Hopefully, I can get the guts to make some changes happen.
