When I’m not sure anymore 

My whole teaching career, I’ve been waiting for this position and now that I’ve finally achieved it, I’m not sure I want it anymore. My dad says it’s normal and it’s just my mind’s way of telling me that I want to achieve more. That makes sense but why don’t I even feel that bit of satisfaction having achieved what I set out for myself, 7 years ago? I don’t know what to aim for anymore. I don’t want to be a principal, I don’t want to run my own school, I do still want to teach so lecturing seems to be the next best option. But that just feels like a safe option. I’ve hit a wall in terms of career progression. Maybe I should explore early intervention and supported community living for adults with autism. Build my skills a bit more. So many things to think about in 2016. Scary but isn’t that what life is all about? Progression.
