Wanted: An Opportunity

I have been presented with an opportunity--a professional opportunity that encapsulates every aspect of what I am passionate about as a teacher and a learner.    I desperately want this opportunity--I want it because it will enable me to grow as a person.  I want it because it will allow me to be a better contributor to the greater good, and on a smaller scale, a better contributor to my family and to my son.
I even want it for all the reasons that I don't want the job I have now-- because I am so tired of being the person who has to be accountable for not only my job, but for the doing the jobs of others when they fail to do their own.   I want to have the opportunity to create learning, create challenges for myself instead of trying to force learning on others and be challenged at every attempt to help learners be accountable for themselves and for their learning.
This opportunity is still a long-shot.  There are others who are undoubtedly more qualified, more skilled.   But I know that whatever I might lack in those areas, I make up for in passion, dedication and an overwhelming willingness to learn and improve.   And so I hope for this opportunity.  And will keep hoping and trying until that opportunity is a reality.
