Phew! I officially survived my first teaching interview! While I was so nervous, I felt that I completely knocked it out of the park. Now for the waiting game (definitely the worst part of job hunting). I am WAY too impatient to sit around and wait for either the most exciting news which would sound like this,
"We would love it if you would be interested in becoming part of our team and accept the position as a second grade teacher" or more depressing news,
"I'm sorry to inform you but the position has been filled". Yeah, I would rather hear the good stuff. With crossed fingers and lucky pennies, I hope that I will be hearing the great news rather soon!!

"As One Door Closes...Another One Opens"
Once again, I have failed to make weekly (or even monthly) posts. I blame it on the insane amount of work that came with student teaching and graduation. Well since my last post (which was nearly 4 months ago), I completed my student teaching experience and graduated from college (FINALLY!). I am now a college graduate, a unemployed certified teacher :) However, I received some exciting news today that I just can't wait to share! I have my first teaching interview tomorrow! Not only is it in the school where I did my student teaching experience, it happens to be the same school in which I was once a student myself. The position is a part-time second grade teacher but I couldn't be more ecstatic to be returning to the school! Only a month after graduating college, earning my degree, and obtaining my teaching license I have been chosen to be interviewed for a position. Now, I am trying not to get my hopes up because it's only an interview but it's one step closer!
Since graduation, I have found that being done and out of college can be rather depressing! I look back and think, "Wow, those were some of the best years of my life and now I'm sort of in after-college limbo!". If I could go back and do college again, I would! Even when I think about the times I stayed up all night to study the night before an exam or worked all weekend to complete a project, I would go back and do it all again. That brings me to the title of this post, "As One Door Closes, Another One Opens". There couldn't be a better saying out there for this time in my life. My college experience has come to an end but it is now time for the door of future teaching experiences to open. I am so excited to begin this new journey as an actual teacher (no longer a student!!!!). I'm crossing my fingers that tomorrow's interview goes well and that I will walk away with a job. Everything happens for a reason and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me.
