Monday afternoon, while I was wrestling with a 200 pound fourth grader in the self contained classroom at the school that I was subbing at, I got a call from the office telling me that the Deputy Superintendent of the Fort Smith Public Schools requested that I be at the Service Center at 3:45 on that same day for an interview. All I could think was, "I am not dressed for an interview, my hair is going to be a mess and I don't have my makeup with me!!" But, I went to the interview and stumbled through the process.
The interview was for a position at the school that I really wanted to teach at. Yesterday morning, the next day, I was scheduled to substitute at this school. I saw the principal first thing, and she didn't make eye contact, so I assumed that I did not get the job and went on about my day, deciding to save my tears for later.
About an hour later, the principal and vice principal asked me to accompany them to the office. Of course, it doesn't matter how old you are, when you are escorted into the principal's office, you feel terrified, as though you are about to be suspended!!! But then, the principal giggled and said, "Fooled ya didn't I?"
I was offered a position as the fourth grade Math/Science teacher at my favorite school!!!
Tomorrow is my first day in my classroom. My lesson plans are done and lying on my desk....but I am scared to death!
