39 Years

I made up my mind.  I'm retiring.  Retiring is not an end, but a beginning.  I look forward to using the technology skills I've acquired in numerous ways.

When I became a teacher, I truly viewed my career as a 'calling', a vocation choice.  After spending 25 years in the classroom, the past 14 years have been spent in technology and the integration of technology into the classroom.  I've met so many wonderful people along my 'educational path'.  Being a life long learner will not end with retirement.

I'm going out while I still love what I'm doing and still have a positive effect on the folks I work with.  I don't know what the future holds, but that's a good thing.  I imagine there will be a needed adjustment period, but I am ready. I am retiring!
