Changes

I like to have a schedule every day, and know what to expect....overall.  I like feeling comfortable in my surroundings.  I hate change!!  If I have to move, or change something drastic in my life I will flip out.  I'm a creature of habit and I'm happy with it.  Recently I've had a lot of change starting to happen in my life.

Last week I found out I will be teaching 2nd grade next year.  I've been teaching 3rd grade for 9 years, and 4th grade for 2 years before that, and I'm quite comfortable where I am.  When I heard I'd be moving to 2nd I didn't flip out....I didn't even panic.  Weird!  I was very calm, and when my principal asked if I would change grades I told her I would willingly teach 2nd.  I feel good about my decision. I didn't question what I should do.  I didn't flip out or regret it afterwards.  I KNEW that 2nd grade was the right choice for me.  I think things happen for a reason, sometimes good things come out of bad experiences, and sometimes even better things come out of changing just a few things around in your life.  I've found that change is not always a bad thing.....sometimes it's just the thing you need.
