I am sitting here waiting for a phone call informing me whether or not I am being appointed Principal in my school division. This is my second attempt at this and while I know I am a good candidate and I just have to wait for the right time, I am sitting here shaking and sweating and wondering why on earth I put myself through this TORTURE!?!
But then I remind myself that going through this process is what helps me grow as an educator and as a person. Each time I apply for a new position I am forced to take a long, hard, critical look at myself and ask what is it I do to make a difference in children's lives? What makes me a good leader? What strengths can I nurture? What do I need to get better at?
Regardless of what happens tonight I know it's the journey that makes me who I am. It's these ups and downs that build character. And this kind of adrenaline rush is AWESOME!
