That One Moment

My SOE arrived by mail a couple of days ago. I felt so relieved and anxious all at once. I know someday I will look back at this part of my teaching journey and laugh at myself, but I must admit the unknown future is frustrating. So many possibilities, so many potential leads, so many folks e-mailing and texting about the "slight" chance that something will open up. I'm ready to teach. Now.
