The Hunt

...no, not for Easter eggs...for my career!!

So I officially graduated last Friday! It feels wonderful!!! The whole family came and celebrated. It was such a nice time, nice weather, and it's good to be done. However, the end of college brings the beginning of career searching...

So I heard back from both Spanish Fork High School and Westlake High School...didn't get the jobs. It was my first official denial. I allowed myself some sulking time, but now I'm over it. Clearly, those are not the jobs where I am supposed to be...So the search continues.

Today, I had an interview at Albion Middle School. It went really well! They even called me back already and invited me to go teach a lesson there to be observed. That made me very happy, because while I may not be great at first impressions or interviews, I LOVE teaching and feel so comfortable doing that. I'll go teach the lesson this Thursday. The only down side to this job is that it's far away. Really far away. So maybe a move is in the cards...who knows?

Tomorrow I have an interview at Vista Heights Middle School in Saratoga Springs. I'm excited for that one because it's a little bit closer to where I live. I also got an email from the principal at Salem Hills High School saying that they'll begin interviews next week so I should have one there as well.

I am confident that I will find the right match for me...I just have to be patient. For me, this is easier said than done. But I am grateful to be having so many interviews. Let's hope some of them turn into job offers soon! The thought of having my own classroom with my own procedures gets more and more exciting each day. I'm so close!!
