I love teaching. I love going to a work place that is one big classroom that I have designed to be an island of books and technology. I love that my job involves reading and writing every day. I love that I get to surround myself with kids. Most of all, I love that I make a difference and that every day I am surrounded by learners, including myself. It’s a really good job.
But it’s not my great career. I am failing at having a great career.

So… I admit it. I have not pursued my great passion because of fear.
Funny though. I definitely know what my passion is. And so does every one else in my family.
“Jordan, what is my passion that I have not pursued?”
“Writing”
“Meg, what is my passion that I haven’t pursued?”
“Writing”
“More details?”
“Writing about learning,” Jordan adds.
“Writing about learning and young adult books,” Meg finishes.
Yes. It’s all right there.
Unless….
Unless….
