I saw the sign...

Dear Ace of Base,

I wonder if your song has more meaning now that I'm in my 20s.  Now that I have been seeing the signs to leave my job behind.

It's become quite clear now that it is time to begin a new chapter in my life.  So, come tomorrow, I'm resigning at my current school district and going to find a new job across the country.

This both excites me and scares me.  It excites me more:  I get to go back to the side of the country I really love.  I get to work in a place that really cares about student achievement.  I get to work with people who are on the same page as me.  I get to leave manipulative, favorite-playing people behind.  I get to show people that I actually know how to do my job. 

But I'm scared because I don't actually have any job offers.  I know they will come, but right now, I'm relegated to my parents' house when I move away from here. 

Thanks, Ace of Base, for showing me the sign that it was time to leave.

Sincerely,
Me
