Keep Dreaming

I would be lying to you if I said, "I make it through every day without thinking of Perugia." Lie. I don't know what my life would be like if I didn't hope and long to be there. So in hopes to get there sooner, I am planning some changes.

In the upcoming months, I will be moving home. This a very, very bittersweet decision. How could I leave my job where I am a superstar? I am seriously the nurse, the friend, the teacher, the rockstar, and the superstar. My students get excited to see  me. I get plenty of hugs and kisses and we celebrate the smallest accomplishments. All this and the amazing support I have, I am by all means not running home.

However at home, I will start subbing in local school districts, in hopes to get a position. Also, if I am subbing I will be available to travel. I am connecting with a company that hires American teacher to nanny, tutor, and teach -even if it's for a couple of weeks all around the world. Sign me up! Therefore, I am saving money to travel by moving home.

As with dreaming of Perugia, I dream of what my life may be like in two or three years. I have two different hopes, in which I accomplish the same goal. The first: I would continue to sub but this new connection would have me traveling to new places often. And the second: I would be teaching at an elementary school and every chance I get I hop a plane.

For now these are just dreams and my travel jar continues to fill. If anyone wants to chip in, I will be happy to take donations and blog about my experience for your enjoyment. In seriousness, I hope you have something to motivate you. I don't want to continue to wish for something. I want to make it happen. Just like my running. I want to be a runner so I'm doing it.
