Emotional Decisions
So, it is pretty obviouse that I am a horrible blogger. I never kept a journal as a kid, or any form of continuous log of my thoughts (mostly because they really aren't that extraordinary). Since I needed something to blog about, I thought that I would blog about decisions. With resumes going out and interviews coming, I am beginning to realize just how big the next step I am going to be making is. Part of moving forward, is leaving things behind. I have been working at the daycare for 3 years, and I love it. Although I know that I need to move forward into the career that I have been training for, I also don't want to leave my daycare kids. I know that if I stay on, there is a sense of security: I know the staff, the families and the community. I also have guaranteed work. In the past three years, I have been puked on, pooped on, peed on, boggered on and bled on, but I still love it and I love my little ones, and I think that I might just actually cry the day I leave. Never before have I faced such emotions regarding my work, although I have always loved it, whenever I have left before for large junks of time (Internship, wedding, etc), I guess I knew that I was coming back in a couple of months, however this time I know then when I take my first contract (Should that ever happen) that this will actually be it, and I will be leaving there for good. It is a hard thing to think about leaving the saftey, and security of my daycare community, but I know that it is time to move on, and this transition might be the first one to cause tears. (Other than the one when I moved to this province... but that is a different story...)

I had a similar decision to make when I worked in an after-school program when I was in Education. It is like leaving a family behind. One that you spend some much time learning about and growing with.
ReplyDeleteI hope you make the decision that is best for you.
And that at your next job no one poops or pees on you.
