Update

Hello everyone, I know it has been way to long since my last post. Things have been kinda of crazy lately. I will give you a brief run down. I spent most of August applying to every Science teaching position I could find in the area. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a full time position. I did have one interview a few weeks ago with Arlington ISD. They had 2 Science Teaching positions open. I felt like the interview went really well and the Vice Principal even told me, that I had very insightful answers for someone who had never taught before. I was bummed when i found out that I didn't get the position, but I also new it was a long shot because they had 16 applicant for the 2 positions and I'm sure at least 2 of them had some experience. I decided not to focus on the fact that I didn't get the job and I just let it motivate me more in my job search. I applied to substitute in several school districts and I actually just had my first day as a sub this past Wednesday. I subbed for a 2nd grade teacher in a brand new school in Everman. I was nervous because I was actually supposed to attend a substitute training before I started substituting, but a lady form HR called me on Tuesday and asked if I was available to sub on Wednesday. I told her that I haven't done my training yet and she informed me that they were kind of desperate, and since I was in the alternative certification program that they were just going to let me skip the training. I agreed to sub on Wednesday, but I was definitely nervous. It went well, the kids were good, just very talkative. I think I spent most of the day trying to keep them quiet. After subbing one day in a 2nd grade class, I am sure that I want to teach high school. I will continue to sub in elementary schools, but I am going to try and get as much high school teaching experience as possible. I just wanted to give a quick update. I will post new pictures soon, I have a lot but I still need to upload them to my computer.
