I was beginning to think this day would never come - and just when I least expected it, the good energy and prayers that were being sent out finally kicked into overdrive. The job offers and additional interviews started coming in about a week ago and I had a decision to make. I was so caught up in actually finding a job (
ANY job), I hadn't entertained the idea of choosing one school over another. After several days of soul-searching and calling on mentors, old teachers, and my support system for advice, I chose the school that I loved immediately. Maybe, it really chose me. :)
When I visited the school today to see my classroom, it was
overwhelming. Not overwhelming due to the lack of organization and bare walls
(I can fix that!), but overwhelming in that I'm starting to see my
dream take shape. I have waited so long for a classroom of my very own -
and did I mention how much I LOVE this one?! Hard work really does pay
off.
Next step: decorating!

Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis classroom is glorious!!!! Those windows! The cubbies!! It's so wonderful, Steph. I'm so, so happy for you. When can we come see it? I want to help decorate!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful - no doubt about it. I'm thinking about maybe doing the big move on Thursday, August 1 and Friday, August 2. Maybe we can work something out! I really don't have THAT much stuff to move in/set up - if nothing else, you can come for a visit.
