For the last several days, I've been sharing about a new opportunity that has opened for me. It is far from anything I've ever done in the past. Still, it feels right. I will be using many of the skills I have acquired as an AP just in a different way. While this is not the path I would have chosen for myself, it is the one I know I am supposed to be on.
They say that when you start something new, you have to leave other things behind. I will miss the day to day action of the campus and interacting with teachers and students. There will be opportunities to do this, but not in the same way. I will, however, be able to impact many of these kids both directly, but more importantly, indirectly through the staff that I serve. In this new position, I will be leading a group of people who interact directly with children and help start and end their day. I have ultimate responsible for ensuring the safety of kids. My work will indirectly impact social and emotional growth by increasing positive interactions with kids on a daily basis. Interacting with parents to help their kids be successful will play a role in this position. I must learn new skills, new systems, and be able to put new ideas and processes in place. The learning curve for me feels like a wall. But, I've climbed that wall before and I can do it again.
