Ramblings

Some exciting things are happening. I have a screening interview with a district somewhat close by. Sometimes when I tell people that I am interviewing with that district they say, "That is so far away." It is only 30 minutes from my house the opposite direction from where I live. It may be time for me to leave this part of the valley and find a new set of friends and learn and grow and change in a new way. OR it may be time for me to get a teaching job in the district I grew up in. I contacted them a few weeks ago and they had me write a letter explaining some of the things that happened when I was teaching and what has changed since then. I just got word that I can apply for a job with them. Then I have a little more waiting. I know the Lord has a plan. And honestly, either of these districts would be a great place for me to continue my career. And if I can get interviews with other school districts they would be great places for me also. I just have to continue moving forward and doing the best I can to not be the liability I am on paper. I have to show those who will be interviewing me that I can be the teacher they need in their district/school. I know I can do it. I am trying my best to move forward and to take the steps necessary to become an educator again.
Oh! That reminds me. I am working part time at a grocery store. . . it is the store I worked at while I was going through college. Anyway, they are going through major renovations/remodel. I always work the night shift and that is when A LOT of the work is getting finished. I've gotten to know the construction workers a little bit in the last 4 weeks or so. I was talking to one of them who said that the business will pick up for a few months and then we will be busy after the remodel. I said, "good just in time for me to leave." He looked really confused. I explained that I am looking for a job etc. Then the night supervisor came through and we were talking and I said something about a leaving pretty soon after everything is finished. And he just gave me a look and I said, "I don't want to do this forever." He laughed and we talked for a few more minutes about other things. I know what I want to do. I just keep praying that it is what the Lord wants me to do. I just need to keep moving forward and doing my part and everything will work out.
Last bit of news. . . I'm going back to New York in July. I CAN'T WAIT!
