Opportunities will come to you in all different kinds of ways. Sometimes they show up as travel opportunities, new friends, education, employment, or even in some much needed alone time. And as I sit back and reflect on the last year of my life, I realized it has been one of the most exciting years yet because I said YES. I said YES to meeting new people, traveling, school, and taking chances.
This year I had the opportunity to get the best professional development for teachers through the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms because I was brave enough to apply. I was given the opportunity to travel to India for three weeks and learn so much about myself and a different culture because of the wonderful Fulbright TGC program. While on my trip to India with my cohort, I developed some genuine connections with people from all over the US and India. I have access to so many more resources towards improve my teaching skills because I said YES.
If you are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, take it! Say YES! Don’t let your self doubt get in your own way! Take that trip! Use those fancy porcelain plates! Take chances! Sign up for those workshops! Whatever it takes to continue to grow both personally and professionally.
