Things to be thankful for:

I have had a few posts mulling around in my mind over the last few months but with all the craziness I never made time to get them down. I want to make a list of the things I am thankful for, because I feel that this new job has been the best move I could ever have made and I want to capture the moments I have been thankful for so far.
1. Having a job description with specified roles and responsibilities.
2. Being trusted to do that job.
3. Having a genuine voice in all decision making. It makes me feel valued.
4. The opportunity to work with many people that I admire and aspire to be like. I feel like I am learning so much every day from every interaction.
5. The opportunity to challenge myself and learn and grow. So important to feel like I am improving rather than stagnating.
6. The team of people I work with and the team of staff I lead. Amazing people who work so hard and just want the best for this school.
7. The students - a little bunch of nerds who just want to be as good as they can be at everything. Brings back memories of a little 'darce-nerd' from yesteryear!
8. Most of all I am thankful that I took the leap in to the unknown once again despite being scared because it really is only when you do this that you once again start to learn and grow.
