So on Friday (March 12) after our lunch I had a meeting with Mr. Lara and Mr. Calderon about my decision for next year. I had been agonizing over this decision for weeks and finally in the last few days before Friday I felt peace about what I had decided to do. I went in and was really nervous to talk to them, but finally just spit it out and told them I'm NOT coming back next year to teach. Once I had gotten that out I felt so much better verbalizing it to the administration and it was official. They were sad, understandably, because they thought I was doing a good job and know how I work, but they also said they understand and they have other candidates who can fill my job.
So...I'm coming home the end of June! I really like living in Honduras, on the quiet mountains, with my neighbors in Villa Verde, seeing my kids in Gracias and traveling around the country and Central America. I like my job and my kids, but there are enough aspects about it that I don't love that have made me decide to not stay for another year. These last few weeks before Semana Santa are just dragging by, and then I still have 2 1/2 months after that. Now I can fully enjoy those months as my last here and hopefully get more out of them. I can also begin to think about options for next year back in the States (or not in the States haha). So if any of you who read this hear of anything you think I might be interested in, let me know!
See you Stateside the end of June!
