A New Chapter

Well, today I changed teaching positions, and I don't know quite how to feel about.

They called me up from the kindergarten to the main campus today where I was to go talk with the principal. Sonya the Russian teacher that is around my age that also works with the 3 year olds came with me. As we walked up there, I wondered if it was a possibility that there would be a change, for that is not an uncommon occurance at MES, but we also half joked and half worried that we were in trouble for something we might have done.

So, when we arrived, they cut to the chase and let me know that they were wanting me to work at the country campus. They told me it was my choice; however, if they were needing someone at that school, I couldn't very well say no. You see, two English teachers ended up leaving not too long ago, so it opened up a need there, and earlier in the year I had mentioned to one of the people in charge that I felt more qualified for older kids, so this new position is more what I had been hoping for originally.

Well, I will now be headed to the country campus tomorrow morning to meet the teachers and get familiar with the school. I'll be teaching pre-schoolers (our version of kindergarten). It's not much older than 3 years old seemingly, but I know that they'll be able to do a lot more, so that will be nice. Unfortunately, I am pretty attached to the 3 year olds and the teachers at the kindergarten. As I mentioned in my last post, I was just getting to where I felt really adjusted. It's also hard because there were things I was praying for and hoping to happen in the kindergarten that now I won't get to see happen. I don't understand what the Lord's plan is in the change, but I know He's got it under control. All I know is that it's feeling bitter sweet right now. I'm going to miss the kindergarten a whole lot, but it'll be neat to do something different as well..
