Welcome to the Ozuna Educators blog!  This is the first time that I have contributed to posting on our website.  It seems that I always have ideas to post on here, but life seems to get in the way from time to time. 

I thought I would use a few minutes of my day to talk about my current job situation.  Just as my husband experienced a few months ago, I have now hit a crossroads in my career.  About a month ago I found out that my current position would be eliminated due to the reorganization of my school district.  Although the news was a bit unsettling, it was not completely a surprise to me.  Rumors had been circulating for over a year about this possible change in our district. 

I have to say that I am very blessed to work for a great principal who immediately told me that things would be fine.  She assured me that she would find a position for me on our campus.  So here I am today, thankful for a great boss who believes in me, but also stuck in particularly interesting dilemma.  I have been offered two choices on my campus.  Choice #1 would give me a nice pay raise, but may not put me where my heart belongs; while choice #2 may lead me to my future aspirations, but comes with a substantial pay cut.  I also have the added choice of looking at other school districts and finally putting my principal certification to use.  I have been avoiding this for a while, but I am starting to think that this crossroads is a sign that maybe I should finally apply to become an assistant principal.  My heart and my mind keep telling me to do different things.  I keep having to remind myself that all of these choices are such great blessings.  So why do I feel like I am about to completely shut down?  Maybe my husband was right a few months ago when he wrote about crawling under the covers and hiding out until things were better.  I am thinking that is a great idea right about now.
