The fear of changing career
A collection of haiku about my exit from the classroom.
The sunset chapter
Uncertainty approaches
I did the right thing.
-
Where will I go next?
What are transferable skills?
Am I good enough?
-
The countdown begins
I almost taste the freedom
Eighteen days to go.
-
Abandonment guilt
Being inconvenient
Tired and impatient.
-
Can I afford this?
Maybe I made a mistake
But I’m unhappy.
-
Possibilities
Endless opportunities
A few weeks away.
-
Pursuing my dreams
Once I know just what they are
The world is open.
-
I have to get out
Leave before the job kills me
Struggling to cope.
-
Excited for change
Positive steps for myself
Options are endless.
-
Oh so many thoughts
Rollercoaster emotions
It will be okay.
-
What was I thinking?
How can I do something else?
This is all I know.
-
Hope blossoms inside
Positive changes coming
I’ve put myself first.
-
I’ll miss the children
They put a smile on my face
But paperwork looms.
-
Doubting decisions
What if I fail yet again?
Can I trust myself?
-
Transition is hard
The unknown is frightening
But I’ll take the leap.
-
I am powerful
I take control of my life
Yes, I can do this.
