About four weeks ago, I sat in a huge orientation for work. It was my first day.
After a small group discussion, we were all going around and sharing whatever small group discussion we were supposed to share about. I seriously don't remember what we were supposed to talk about in my small group.
There was one group, however, in which the spokesperson shared something that saw things in a whole new way. She had announced that she had worked two jobs for the longest time. She told us that we would need to live up to the high expectations of this new job because we were really lucky to have it. In fact, she told us that we were the best of the best, because there were many people who had applied, and we were chosen. This group was full of doctors and nurses, and us I.T. people were in the minority by a long shot.
Then, she revealed that this wasn't replacing her two jobs...this was her third job.
I found this to be incredibly humbling. It illustrates that you will either find an excuse or you will find a way.
I hope you all are finding your way right now.

HI Mr. Carter!!:)
This is Gaby!!!!
Is it true that you quit your job as a teacher?:(
A lot of people from last year said you did, and that made me and my 5-1 people very sad...
But I hope you're enjoying your new job...if you can, please try and visit us at Clay Middle School.
P.S. I got the other Mr. Carter for Spanish!:)
P.S.S. What's your email??I tried your school one~
Gaby! Yes, it's true. I have moved on and now I work for a hospital, teaching doctors and nurses to use the computer network. I love the job, and I will see what I can do about visiting--but I have fewer days free now than I did as a teacher.
