Well, let’s say just say that I will be teaching later than sooner.

I should have known it was too good to be true. Basically, I will be looking for another teacher prep program.

My teaching interview didn’t go well at all. I was as professional as I could be, and answered the questions as best I could, but it was hard to give a good impression with a smug, “good-ole-boy” sitting in front of me. Sadly, I knew exactly what he was doing for the entire condescending interview. Everything that excited me about being a teacher and everything that the admissions officer lady built me up about their program, he tore down completely.

Now, I know I shouldn’t let one person determine my future, and I’m not. I’m still going to pursue my certification. But this man is on their front line, and he IS indicative of their program. I also don’t need two people telling me two different things. I’ll take my 5k for the program elsewhere, and work with people who will tell me the truth the first time around, thanks.

So, we’re making a new plan. It involves me going back to school for graphic design and photography, which excites me to no end. I’m happy with my decision to postpone. I’m not worried, I know how to work hard. I’ve done it before, I can do it again.
