I went in yesterday for a job interview and it went really well. I had a good foundation because my cooperating teacher is friends with the principal I was interviewing with, the principal where I did my student teaching is good friends with her, and my cooperating teacher's sister works at that school. But all of those good recommendations did not stop me from being incredibly nervous! It almost made it worse because I had to live up to all of the hype!
Anyway, it paid off! I got the call this morning and was offered the position of a first grade teacher! I am so happy, but so nervous. I keep expecting them to call and say, "Oops, we made a mistake." I seriously can't believe it. I've already started to make a list of everything I need to do and I am so overwhelmed. I have little over a week to get everything set up and I am going to need ALL of that time. I have a lot of people that have offered to help me with everything though, which is so amazing! I have such a good support system here in Utah already and at home.
Even though I am so nervous and feeling overwhelmed, I KNOW I can do this and I am honestly so excited! Things will come together soon and life will be good! I can't wait to meet my little kiddos!
I will be starting at Butterfield Canyon Elementary in Herriman, Utah next week...observing, setting up my classroom, and meeting parents...and then the next Monday, January 31st, will be my first day with all of my kids! It will be so great! I can't wait! :)
