Life 1 or Life 2...who knows?

Right now I am not so much living two lives but do have separation between my Allendale life and Macomb life. Who knows what will come from it. I hope one day I don't have to choose, but this morning sitting in mass with some other teachers and their students I was thinking about how much I will miss seeing what happens with them down the road. By the time I graduate, Megan who is now in my 2nd grade class, working towards 1st Communion by the end of the year, will be off to Middle School and her sister Sammi will have made her Communion with me also. Its an exciting experience but then I may have to leave. Other than the church family I can't see myself living in Allendale at all. Maybe some neighboring town but never in Allendale, too small for me.

But then I think back to my school years, and what I always pictured myself doing. I always saw myself teaching in the district that I myself was taught through. I love Utica and always wanted to become a teacher that is so well known in a district that out does the surrounding districts. Its a great opportunity to become a teacher in Utica, they only take a few each new school year if any since teachers stay there forever and I always wanted to be one. Though now I'm not sure.

I could see my life out here in a surrounding city of Allendale, but then I think about Utica and their accredidations and what it means to me. But then once I get to this point I'll take whatever job I can get because who knows what the economy will be at that time.

Til Then I can only continue to imagine, but shouldn't let life get in the way.
