So now there are only about 7 weeks of school left for me, and as my first year of teaching starts to wind down I realize I’m finally (at 30!) in a job situation where I can settle in for a while. I’ve found my niche as a librarian, and I can finally exhale. Do I plan on retiring from my current school in 30 years? I can’t say that for sure, since there are so many things I’m passionate about. I don’t know what I’ll be doing in 10 years, let alone 30. But I do know that it’s home for now…where I can relax, become invested in the students, and think about things like starting a family somewhere down the line. That’s a big deal for me. And my contract has been renewed, so hooray!
