Change is Hard!
Every year in the spring people move on to new jobs in my district. Sometimes people ask for requests to move to a new buildings and sometimes they are just moved. Last year, many of my closest friends were moved from my building without warning. It was hard for me and them. I do not like change.
When this year started, I was scared of what it would be like to be without my friends. Who would I eat lunch with? Who would correct my documents for errors (I need a lot of help with that)? Who could I run to and talk to about gossip or make plans with? But I made it through the year and they did too at their new buildings.
Now the time has come again for people to move on to new places next year. I am once sad and scared of what next year will be like. The people I run to this year in my building are leaving me behind. I do not like change. I am happy for those who are going to better things that they worked hard to achieve, but sad for me being without them. I admit I've had it made for a the past 3 years with support for me in my job. Now I find myself worried that things are going to get rough.
I am almost considered the "old" one in the building. Someone who has been there now for 11 years!! I am very lucky that I work so close everyday with a great group of people in my rooms and an amazing co-teacher! They keep me grounded and keep me smiling, even when I'm sad.
I do not like change, maybe that is why I have not decided what to finish my credits in at a school. I know I want to be the one moving on to a bigger and better thing, but do not know if I am up for the change.
Maybe someday all those who have moved on, we will all be back together again. But for now, I have 3 months to suck it up and deal with the change.
