About four weeks ago I learned about a job position opening up at a school down here in Texas. I talked to the gentleman right away, who mentioned the position and he e-mailed the principle of the school about me on the spot. I filled out my application online right away and recieved an e-mail from the principle after a few days. I was so excited and couldn't wait to get the ball rolling and go in and observe the current art teacher, working at the school. The AP I had observe me and talked to at Escamilla used to work at this school and gave me information, tips on interviewing and a copy of the interview questions. This would also be the school my cooperating teachers students would be attending and the students there would go on to the teacher I am with now. This would be perfect!
With everything happening so quickly and falling right in place I was sure this was a good sign. Well after a talk with the principle and hearing advice from one of our student teaching meetings, I thought about if this was the school I would really want to work at and not just because it was a job. I'm not going to lie, when I visited the school I didn't get the warm welcoming feeling that I had at Escamilla. So I thought about looking for other schools and I put together a portfolio this weekend. I should know from recent experiences that the first thing that pops up isn't always the correct choice. I have been praying about it a few days now, asking God to show me what he wants me to do with my life. I have been praying that he opens doors wide open to where he wants me to go and close the ones that need to be closed.
Well... today after school I had a new teacher meeting just like every monday. During the meeting one of the AP's came up to me with a note and she said that the principle at Luis Middle School wanted me to call her. Shocked and surprised I asked, "Right now?"
"Yes, just go into the teachers lounge and dial this number."
So I went to the lounge called Ms. Cosby and set up an interview for Wednesday! I couldn't have been more excited, actually I still am!! The school is recently new and they are looking to start an art program there. At the other school I would be trying to fill someone elses shoes whereas at this school I would be building up a new program. I couldn't be more excited! While I am excited I'm a bit nervous at the same time, but I wont really even have time to think about it with school and work and being that the interview is this Wednesday! God knows me all to well, if I have too much time to think about things I freak myself out, but if you throw me right in I will swim.
I am amazed at how God continues to work and show himself in my life and others daily. I am thankful for that every day.
