Moving on

What a week! After 6 years of working with one company, I resigned. It was bittersweet because I was told by so many of my co-workers that they were going to miss me and that they wished me all the best. The hard part was leaving my boss. He was such a wonderful and charming person and he taught me so much. I know I will never forget him and hugging him goodbye was probably the most difficult thing I have done in the last 10 years. I hope that he remembers me and after he gets over being sad, that he realizes I really only left because it was time to go to a place where I could grow in my career. I had to take a risk and do something about being stagnant in my professional life. I want to be able to be like him one day. I want to be able to inspire and mentor people too. I want to change lives the way he changed mine. One day, when I have achieved these things, I will call him and thank him again for giving me the confidence in myself to move on and achieve what I was meant to achieve.
