Pinch Me Please!

So I got a text from my little sister yesterday that sent my heart pounding. Not pounding in a bad way, the kind of pounding you get when you get so excited you get butterflies in your stomach.

This was the text I've been waiting for for almost six years. I never thought my dream job would open up.

"It's true! Roberts is going to Salt Lake."

Well, my theater teacher from high school has had a rough last four years. I hear stories from my sister about him and it sounds like he's just burnt out and needs to take a break from teaching. I've been saying, "He should quit and then I'll take his job." I meant that in the nicest of ways. But... It's true. He's leaving Central High School Theater and taking a job in Utah.

Unfortunately, I don't have a certificate til after December. Unfortunately, I might not be highly qualified to teach theater since my degree is in English. But, I've been researching on the internet and perusing my transcripts the past two days to see how I can make this work. And... I think I can make this work :)

Thankfully, I know the principal. She's also already interviewed me :) Thankfully, I know the choir teacher. I'm sure he'd help me out, too.

I turned in my started application to the District office today.
Let's watch and pray and see how things pan out. (I do know if it doesn't work out in the end, I'll be okay. I can teach something and somewhere else :) )
