Forks in the road

I realize my friend's campaign isn't done yet and I encourage you to check it out if you haven't already, but I wanted to thank all of you for reading this and for those of you who write your own blogs. You see, I thought I had wanted a principal job, but turned down the first one I was offered and haven't looked since. I started my path towards a principal position before I was married and had kids. After I completed my master's and certification program, I didn't stop to think if that was what I still wanted until I was faced with the decision. I make enough to support my family teaching and value my time with them more than I would the raise that would come with being a principal. I still imagine what I gave up, but I know someone who gave up his dream principal position to stay home with his kids. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds, of course, but both he and I made the choice God wanted us to make. Hopefully, this blog helps us reach more than we would have as principals or wherever that path may have taken us.
