Enjoying the Lemons of Life

Hi. 
I have so much to share with you.
Let’s get started:)

When you heard from me last, I revealed that I was overstaffed here in the Louisville Public School System. Meaning that for the following year, I was not guaranteed a job in the Early Childhood department. I stayed positive and didn’t let this news deter me from finishing this year strong and enjoying what I love to do. Staying positive in any situation does a world of good because....... I now have a new position for the upcoming school year. (Praise Break)

About two weeks after my blog post, I got a call from a school on the mandatory transfer list that I compiled. This first school was Maupin Elementary, a great school by the way. They called Tuesday and gave me an interview for Wednesday. I went to the interview and I was myself! I rocked that interview; I just knew I did because I had that feeling! That feeling that makes you smile when you walk, add a little pep to it, and say, "You go girl!" to yourself. I left the interview and was on my way to my current school and my pants split! LOL! They literally ripped apart and I still have no idea why because I have lost about 30 pounds! After panicking for 10 seconds, I laughed in my car for a good ten minutes. Luckily my grandmother lives a few blocks away from Maupin, so I had enough time to run there and get a change of pants. By the way my granny is smaller than me and I fit into a pair of her pants! Go me! (I would like to take this time, to encourage you to put a diva bag in your trunk! A diva bag contains an extra set of clothes, jewelry, and toiletries. Just in case you happen to split your pants, lol.)

Anywhoo, fast forward! At around 1pm that same day, JCPS called my classroom and told me that I was recommended for hire to teach Kindergarten at Maupin Elementary for the 2013-2014 school year. Um, Yes, I accept!!!! God is so good and I can’t even explain what he will do for you, when you give him all of your trust because that is exactly what I did and look at what he did for me. (Praise Break #2) To go in and get a position on my first interview just lets me know how much I have grown! I can’t thank God enough for what he has done because many of my friends have not gotten hired yet. This is still something very scary for so many people, yet I have been blessed with a light at the end of the tunnel. 

I am a living testimony that when you trust in God and you leave him in charge of guiding you to your destiny, only good things will come out of it. 
                                                         
Until the next time that life has checked me,

P.S. I will be back tomorrow to share some more of my recent experiences as a Pre-Kinder Teacher. I have posted my last two bulletin boards for your viewing pleasure:)
