Release

After months of anticipation, worry, regret, and fear, I turned in my letter of resignation today. I have seriously been the biggest bundle of nerves over this for MONTHS. I guess the reason for this is that I have never taken a big chance at anything before in my life. I have always stuck to the secure choice and chosen the safest option. I'm kind of like the guy in the movie "Along Came Polly" I assess the risk factor before I do ANYTHING. I enjoy certainty and have always despised change in the past.
Today as I dropped my letter in the envelope on the principal's door, instead of the fear of the unknown I was certain I would feel, I felt the exhilaration of a new beginning.
I know that to most this will probably seem a little silly, stressing so much over changing schools, but it was a huge step for me and I am glad I took it.

Wish me luck I am going to a school job fair tomorrow to explore my new opportunities!
