As you will know, I went to Chicago two weeks ago for a job interview to teach in Abu Dhabi. I went through the interview process...it was 90 minutes! I have never been in such a long interview, but I loved the challenge. It was an awesome experience.
Well, I got an offer to go overseas to teach. I had quite a lot of time to think as I traveled home. When I got home, I realized that my work here is not done. There is so much that I left to offer my school, school system, my students, my future students, parents, and my community. I heard the voices telling me to stay for now...wait a year. So, I asked the wonderful recruiters to let me defer for a year. I will have to re-interview, but I am good with that. I will know what to expect next year.
So there you go. I am staying in the states for the year. What will the next year hold? Who knows? One thing is for sure. I am up for whatever challenges come my way.
Take care!
Joey
