"…but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:31
This verse was given to me on a keychain around this time two years ago by a dear colleague and friend. I was beginning a new chapter in my life and left the classroom to spread my wings as a science instructional specialist. The opportunity was exactly what I had been hoping for. I loved being a teacher but was needing to take some time out of the classroom. I was worn out.
I recently found myself in the exact position I was in just two years ago - worn out. But this time, it was different. My heart wasn't in the job. Thankfully, the Lord spoke to my heart and helped me see what my true passion is - teaching kids and being part of the moments when they learn. He opened doors for me to meet some incredible people who helped me find my calling again as a science teacher. I can't help but believe He had this planned all along! (Duh!)
I have had the fortune of being a part of three amazing campuses in my time as an educator in CCISD. Each campus has impacted me both as an educator and a person. I have been so blessed to work beside some amazing teachers and have learned incredible things from each and every one of them.
Yesterday it became official - I am hanging up my Eagle wings for a new nest at Lomax Junior High. While I am beyond thrilled to be back in the classroom, this is a very bittersweet transition for me. My Eagle home holds a very, very special place in my heart. I have spent all of my career as an Eagle (in one way or another) and dedicated countless hours in planting roots in the school and its people. I will miss everything about the campus - the building, the staff, my fellow teachers, and the students. I have cherished every single moment on that campus. Every. Single. Moment. Some of the most amazing people I know I met as an Eagle - friends, this is not goodbye.
Just remember: Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.
