I am saddened to be writing this next line and tears stream down face as they have all day long....I was told today that I will no longer be at Stony Point. I have been "reassigned" to East Alexander Middle School.
You know me well enough by now to know that the only way I process my emotions is through this blog...so here it goes.....
I am so sad to be leaving behind my Bryson and the daily memories I will be missing out on (insert MANY tears here)......
I am so sad to be leaving kids that I have watched grow for 6 years of my career....
I am so sad to be leaving a staff that I love as my own family.....
I am so sad to be leaving behind a school that I love more than any school I have ever stepped foot in.....
I am so sad to be leaving the familiar for the unknown.....
I like to have control of my life and in this situation I feel as if I have lost complete control which is probably the part that saddens me the most.....
I know that there so many worse things in life....and I in no way want to discount those that are in such greater need than me.....
I am so thankful to everyone that listened to me cry today and supported me today...and all the sweet comments, texts and messages do mean a lot.....I just really wish this wasn't the way to start Summer break......
In the end I will overcome this and it will become clear (ONE day) why this happened...
I am so thankful for the journey I have traveled at SP and every person and child I have crossed paths with, will only make me a better person in the end!
Here are some positives:
I am happy for a new challenge....
I am happy for new faces.....
I am happy to reconnect with old friends and past students.....
I am happy that it is summer and by August I will be stronger than this day.....
As Brooks said with every job doesn't always come compassion and this is very true...but I will be the strong one in the end!
I have prayed really hard for the past few days because my gut (which is normally right) told me this was coming, I just wish I didn't feel so blindsided......MOVING ON!!!
I can't say thanks enough nor can I list each of you that have been on my side today.....but know I love and appreciate each of you!!!!!!!!!!
I will continue to SHIINE because that's what I have been taught to do at SP!
Much love to you all.......HAPPY SUMMER, Alysha
