Along with the semester being nearly done, comes the realization that my internship is nearly done and I will miss many of these kids with whom I have formed relationships. Many of them have lost parents and grandparents this year and have found that someone really can understand part of what they are feeling. I have given so many a place to cry and air their frustration and they are already coming to me to see if I will be teaching at their high school next year. The answer is "Probably not." Budget constraints have hit across the nation and our area is no different.
Yesterday, I did have an interview at a private Pre-K - 12th grade preparatory school who contacted me to interview. Should I get this job (It is in fact, my dream job.) I would be teaching History and Social Studies for 6th through 12th grades with a total of approximately 77 students. I have a second interview in two weeks to go over details, but this is looking outstanding right now.
I still need to finish my thesis and present it in late June. I also need to turn in my hours to my supervisor and have decided to take a few more classes this summer that are not part of the MA but are things in which I am interested to aid in my teaching strategies.
Good heavens!! Is it possible I could be paid to do what I love doing? Perhaps so!

Hello stranger!!!! Yep, that sounds like the perfect job for you ~ hope you get it.
It always helps to make an income with a subject you really love. That's something I've always longed for. Good luck to you there. It is a shame about the children though; they'll miss you for sure.
HI Wanda, I will pray about this teaching opportunity. It sounds just perfect for you.
I hope your weekend goes beautifully. Enjoy Sunday. I find out on Sundays' what I am doing on Sunday. lol

Yes, a blessing to be sure!
Solomon agreed with you, in so many words. ;)
Oh, I do so hope that the dream job comes through for you! You have worked so hard for it. Keep us up to date.
Hope the gig comes through for you. Everyone should get to work their dream job!
I'm glad those kids had you. I am sure made a big difference in their lives.
Kudos on getting to the second interview for your dream job. Hope you land it!
It was good to hear from you.
RYC: oh, I so get that! there are 10 yr olds in some parts of the country who can already have babies (if you catch my drift) I'll be headed for the buffalo ranch in the near future. They MUST be grass fed and given no hormones, antibiotics, and whatever else I don't want to know about. I'm looking into fresh/local/well raised fowl nearby.
EXCELLENT!!! You're a great teacher!!!
I remember back in the fall and winter when you had so much to do, you didn't have any time to blog. And now as it always does, the time has passed and you are approaching the end of your current series of studies. Congratulations for surviving! Getting called back for a second interview is a very positive sign. Good luck with that.
How are you today Judi
