The Choice of a Moment, and the Opportunity of a Lifetime

Dear Nay-Sayers,

Thank you for your interest in my latest career choices. I appreciate your curiosity and support. However, I would like to remind you that I CHOSE to teach at Grant. Offers abounded. After much thinking and much prayer, Grant is where I felt my heart was happiest. I am well aware of the challenges ahead, as well as the chance for adventure and redemption. This is where I want to be, where I have chosen to be, and where I am supposed to be. I would thank you to support this endeavor with enthusiasm, not raised eyebrows or cynical comments about the neighborhood or the education system in general. Cynicism does not make good conversation.

Have a nice day.
