Reflections at the end of the 2010-2011 school year

As the end of the school year quickly approaches, I am quite sad with the prospect of not knowing my place in education. With the recent budget proposals, and the potential for not having a teaching position in Pre-k, I must say, I feel out of sorts. As this could be a concern for all teachers (loss of jobs), the way that I am dealing with the unknown is: Trusting that God is closing one door and opening another. I have no idea where I will be in August, but nothing is ever CERTAIN, right? I must say that deep down I am slightly excited that a change is in store. Change means growth! Please e-mail your senators and let your voice be heard! Let's save education!

    Being a music teacher who is actively looking for a job myself, I can understand a bit of your anxiety. I think that your attitude is wonderful and leaving it in the hands of God to get you through. You never know, this may be a blessing in disguise. Don't go down without a fight!

    Tracey I understand your concerns. I too am concerned, but I truly trust God will take of all of us. The main thing is not to loose faith.
    The devil wants us to doubt what God can do. We know what can happen when we let God be in charge.

    You're right...when one door closes another door opens. Keep thinking positive thoughts. You never know...things may change and Pre-K may be spared. It seems that every summer is filled with some kind of anxiety. I do commend you though on looking forward to a change. :)

    Tracey, I'm so impressed by your positive frame of mind. I'm sure that it's unsettling time for you, but I applaud your willingness to embrace change.

    Tracy, I believe that they will provide funding for the Preschool, because God loves the little children of the world. Stay focused and I hope that in August 2011 you will be preparing our precious little children for the 21st century.
