Today was a world-wind day! It started by waking up at 4:30am for an interview at 5:30am! Let me back up some. On Sunday morning, I got an email from a school in Tunis, Tunisia that wanted to interview me on Skype! I was floored, shocked, excited, and super nervous all at once! This was also a school I was unsure of because of safety but I took a leap of faith and applied. But something in their website made me feel like they would take care of their new teachers. So here I was getting ready to interview for the first time and I was oh so very nervous! But as Aunt Beth put it "If it's God's plan, you already have the job" . During the interview, I felt very welcomed and comforted by the three people who interviewed me. I hung up thinking I could not have asked for better people to interview me for my first time. But I also felt I did not sell myself well at all and as I put it... I tanked! But I packed up and headed to school to see my sweeties!
While my kids were at lunch, I checked my email on my phone and saw an email from the school's director at 10:10am. My first thought was... Whelp, it didn't take him long to know I wasn't the one for the job. But it was actually an email congratulating me for earning top choice and he offered me the job as a 2nd grade teacher! I was floored and shaking! I called mom but she didn't pick up. So I ran next door to the one and only teacher I told at school and showed her the email. We hugged and then I went back to my classroom and called Dad. Then I was able to get a hold of Mom and Aunt Beth then later that day I was able to tell Paul! I was on Cloud 9 that day and over the moon that my dream was finally coming true! But I had this weird feeling that I didn't want others to know just yet.
