It’s not that I haven’t been trying. In fact I have been on the internet for hours every day emailing, applying, and stalking principles! I have my degrees in music education and quite frankly, our schools are quite poor right now on top of the fact that I moved here just a month before school began.
Thank goodness my NWH (newlywed husband) has a great job and is not worried in the least bit for be to become employed, but I am a mover and shaker! I have to work; I don’t know any different!
Today, I thought would be a turning point. I had an interview at a school! When I arrived I noticed the lady checking my name off of a list of interviewees a mile long. I definitely wasn’t the only one hoping for a position.
I entered the room and was asked a series of 3 or 4 questions such as “How would you set up your classroom?” “What are some teaching strategies you use?” “What make you a great teacher?” I answered them intellectually, trying to allow my personally to shine.
Finally one of the interviewers asked me if I had any questions. So I asked if there were any available positions. The male interviewer took the reins and answered, “Well, uh, no… not at this time.” There is was. I had dressed in my most professional attire, mentally prepared myself, drove 20 miles, and answered all the questions, for a nonexistent job!
I try not to take all of this personally, but it’s very disheartening to know that I worked so hard and having nothing to show for it except a framed degree.
This made me think of the famous “Footprints” poem, and I thought it would be a perfect time to share it with you and remind anyone else going through a tough time to allow God to carry you.
