Job Update

So I did not get the job that I interviewed for in my hometown. They actually decided they wanted to go for a full-time Spanish teacher instead of a mixed position. I'm definitely not the most qualified for full time Spanish as I am more knowledgeable and experienced in Social Studies. So their needs changed and though I am bummed b/c I was ready to move back home and settle down, I'm also super duper grateful to not have to move right now with a month left of summer. The financial implications of moving were posing a huge problem too so I think it's all working out for the best. I'm going back to teaching inner-city Watts/Compton next year. So on the one hand, I definitely am glad to go back to what is comfortable and known this year. :) Somehow I think God has more work for me to do in inner-city and my ideas are already flowing. :) We'll take a look at things again next year.

    This exactly!! You're awesome!

  • That's too bad about the job. :(  I know you'd been looking forward to it for several reasons.  But, you're right that there's a reason that you're staying where you are.  And it's great that the administration and students love you there and know what an awesome job you've been doing.  Will you stay teaching the same subjects?

  • Jobs are so TOUGH to come by out here in California.  Things happen for a reason, and those students are lucky to have you for another year!

  • I'm sorry it didn't work out with the job.  I know it must have been a bit disappointing.  

    I think those kids in Watts/Compton are so lucky to have you.  Someone who really truly cares so much about them and they will benefit from having you around for another year.
