I’m sitting at the airport about to leave for Iowa for this
trip. It’s crazy to think that in two and a half days, I am going to know what
country we will be moving to. I think teaching abroad is a great opportunity to
see the world and practice my craft on someone else’s dime. In the meantime I
feel like my current state of mind is refreshing as well. I think everyone
should have a chance to just press the reset button on their life and take a
chance. I have been a planner my whole life. I have always had specific goals
and milestones ahead of me. First I was going to graduate high school, then
college, then a graduate degree, and then start my career. Now that I have
accomplished all of that, I am fully embracing the idea of allowing myself to
enjoy a life curveball. I feel like a lot of my life has been part of a plan. I
have worked extremely hard to accomplish my goals and follow my plan and I’m
proud of it but it’s time to reset that and just go with it for a little while.
I have no regrets about the way I have lived my life but look forward to the
chance to live with some uncertainty. I think being out of my comfort zone is
going to be an adventure…even if that sounds a little corny.
So while I’m sitting in the Orlando airport where it’s been
in the balmy 70s for the past few weeks I am equal parts excited to see what
comes next in this process, and also dreading the forecasted -15 degree
weather. I hope things go well at this fair and have faith that they will. I
will check back in after I have done some interviews and have a better idea of
where things are going.
