Vision

Dear ...this month has flown.

Here's another thing this class has me thinking about: Where am I going and WHY? Seriously. What are my life goals? I could tell you generally, but specifically, I don't know. I don't know why I want an administrative credential. Do I want to be a principal? Do I want to be a leader?

I used to think I knew. I left Lake Arrowhead with the goal of seeing the world (check.) I left college with the goal of expanding my horizons (half-check). Now I'm here. Why? What's next? I've lived by faith -- that knowing what's next isn't necessary, but it is also sort of a problem (driving without having a destination) if it goes on for too long.

As far as values go, I don't have all the answers, but I've been thinking about a few.

house+steady job=stability

new and old friendships=relationships

high standards=excellence

reading+classes+teaching=learning

amibition, positivity, and focus

These are things I find in both my personal and professional life -- that is to say, my actions dictate my values. Can you really call something a value if you have no action/belief to back it up? And so now, how do my values play to my vision? I suppose they do, but I don't know what that LOOKS like. I could have a VERY good position in my school district in a few years. Is that really what I want? Is it my vision? Or just something that fell into my lap, so I should take advantage of it?

God has confirmed over the past few weeks that this is 'home ' for a while. I'm not on my time table, but His. That's a hard place to be...but I'm always up for a challenge.
