The Journey

So the journey to a job is truly an interesting one. My journey started back in 2009 when I was let go at the factory due to a lack of work. Ever since then I have been working hard to graduate college so that I can teach students. I decided to be a teacher so that I can inspire and encourage students to achieve their goals in life. The journey has proved to be a trying one at times and it has taken a lot of work on my part. However, this May I finally graduate from college with a bachelor’s degree. Just last week I went to fill out an application for a teaching job at one of the public schools close to home. I found out that I needed certain paperwork from the school that shows I have passed the tests necessary to teach. I also had to have someone write me a letter to give to the school showing them that I would be certified to teach in their school. See I decided to graduate with a general studies degree and then go to graduate school for teachers. So even though I am graduating this May, I still have two years of school to look forward too. I am definitely ready for a job. I went to a career fair that my college hosted and handed out resumes and made sure that I smiled the whole time because that is what everyone tells you to do at career fairs. I had one job lead that came from the career fair and that is exciting. I have to go to the school district and meet with them next week and I was told to bring all of my paperwork with me. They did not say if this was an interview but I am going to treat it like one. Could this be the right job, only time will tell!
