So when I moved up to Heber to work as an aide for Wasatch district I knew it was going to be temporary. I needed a job and thought if I work a few years in the district maybe I could move to something different later. Now because of Obama care act the school district took all its aides down to 27.5 hours so they wouldn't have to provide insurance. So I helped Heidi at the school to earn my keep.
It has been a rough 2013-2014 school year for the staff at Sunny Day and Heidi's wonderful assistant director had to put in her month notice due to some family issues. I always figured I'd work at Sunny Day in the summer and be the floater teacher. I knew the school district fired at the end of the school year and rehired in late summer. which secretly scared me, knowing I had school loans and other bills that needed to be paid.
So when Heidi came to me and said I could be assistant director I was thrilled she was even thinking of me but at the same time extremely overwhelmed. I was comfortable at the elementary school teaching reading lessons and doing kindergarten intervention. No worries, unseen and just a peon. If I took this it was a big responsibility. I weighed my pros and cons and had a conversation with my heavenly father.
Today as I went into work I knew my answer as my heart thumped heavily with anticipation and sadness. I was going to take it.
My last day at JR Smith is the 28. I'm going to miss my colleagues and the kids at the elementary, but I'm excited to start a new adventure at Sunny Day.
