Did I Make the Right Choice?

Events from last week had me briefly debating if I made the right choice to leave my last school and help start a new school. Last week, I received my test scores for world history 10. The history test is a difficult test because it is much more analytical than the other tests and requires a high reading level. 75% of my students scored basic or above! I'm not saying that is the greatest ever at all, and is still 10% lower than my suburban counterparts, but it was an improvement and it was one of the higher within my district. 

Then, I received the teacher surveys. At the end of each year, admin conducts a computer-based survey that has the students rate the teachers in areas such as use of homework, knowledge of subject, engagement, discipline, ect. I was the highest rated teacher at my school and well above the average of my district. I am definitely not one to brag, but since it is done and over, that did bring me great joy! 

The scores and the ratings were the result of 3 years of hard work. I don't know if I can repeat this, at least not right away. I am about to teach a class I have never taught. On top of that, I need to adjust to new students. That is why I briefly wondered if I made the right choice. But deep down, I know I have. I needed to get out of teaching that class. This next year will be difficult, but not impossible. I'll just keep working hard and hoping to make it!
