I can't sleep. This time it is because my mind can't stop working but in a brilliant way...
I GOT A JOB...starting the 2nd week of August I will be Horace Mann Middle Schools Special Education Teacher for Social Studies!!!
I can't believe it still. I just went in for the interview but not really wanting the job, I felt it was tooo far and I still have to finish my coursework at CSULA and the drive would not be worth it. BUT I wanted the interview experience....
Then, I fell in love with these people and what they could offer me to be an effective teacher....
My mind was and is just flooded with ideas for my kids. I got my dream job. I did, check this out:
1. It's a special education classroom (SDC)
2. It's a middle school (6-8)
3. It's an inner city school (Inglehood, I mean Inglewood)
3. It's social studies (yessss)
and a bounce I could only hope for
4. It has a huge amount of resources...meaning I will have enough text books, computers, tools, anything I need to create an amazing environment for teaching...I'm gonna cry!!
This is an amazing feeling. I so have paid my dues to get this. AND this is an amazing school! I mean the staff are all on the same page for once. They are terribly supportive of each other and of me as a new teacher and...and...words cannot explain how this will be worth the drive. I know it will. This next year will be tough and trying but I heed the call.
I got in to sign all the paper work and contract stuff but I'm on my way!!!
SUUUUUUUUUPAH STAHHHHHH!!!!

And you want to take on middle school kids who have special ed needs.. i mean how much more of a challenge can u have? Kids at that are are terrible and hard to reach but i love your passion and devotion to making their lives better.

AWWWW...
....man thanx toots. Its nice to know that my efforts are appreciated...I genuinely do care and it hurts me to see people cheating our kids of an education because they are there to collect a paycheck.Put it this way, I don't even know what my salary is 'cos that was the last thing on my mind. I just kept asking at the interview, what will be resources?
What will be offered to my classroom?
Is there money for the kids?
All day today I was asked what was my salary...dunno man...kinda don't care 'cos I know it will be more than my family has ever made in a year...I come from that kinda of background, ya know?
I'm sooo excited I can't stop smiling...
