Help!
Hullo... This is a message, from the bottom of my heart, going out to people who might have some valuable advice for someone in need of it. I am a 27 year old primary school teacher, currently living in London, UK. I specialise my teaching to ICT (Information and Communications Technology), which is what I've been doing since 2000. Recently, I have made the decision to make Aliyah, as I felt my heart belonged in Israel, I felt it's where i wanted to be. Having made the decision, I have decided to start looking for work, as my financial situation dictates that I won't be able to simply make aliyah and live no the money made available to me. On the other hand, I also knew that I desperately want to work, not just study for 7 or 8 months. So... having made this decision, I recently - two days ago on Sunday - found out that for the first time in my life, I'm going to be an uncle. Yes, my Brother and his wife are expecting their firstborn. (I know... Mazeltov). So this is my problem - I no longer know what to do. On the one hand, do I follow my dreams and make my move? If I do that, my family will dislike me for leaving them at such a crucial time... my brother's child won't have his or her uncle nearby. And if I move, I'll give up my whole life. So do I stay? If i stay, sure, my family will be happier, and the kid will have an uncle. but, I'll be miserable, for not following what heart, my soul and my dream. So, what would you do? Follow your dreams, and disappoint your family, or not follow them, and look back in the future and say what-if? I truly, truly don't know what to do... has anyone got any valuable advice for a Lost Soul? Adam
