LOL! Exciting news on the teaching front!

I have a habit of checking the current openings websites of almost every school district in my area. I especially check the McKinney ISD website almost daily since that is ideally where I would like to end up. My persistence might actually pay off. An open kindergarten position was listed TODAY! I confirmed with HR that is was a position for this year and not next fall. I’m thinking that this position will start in January.

I started making calls immediately. The principal at Jenn’s school is going to call on my behalf. Also, Jenn’s school is sister schools with this school. The kindergarten teams do training together. On top of that, two of the teachers on Jenn’s team (that I worked with back in September) have taught with two of the teachers at this school. They are going to put in a good word for me too.

Funny thing about that training that they do together. They have one scheduled this Tuesday, and it’s hosted at Jenn’s school. I just happen to be substitute teaching for Jenn while she is at this training! She’s going to introduce me to a few teachers from that team on Tuesday morning.

AND, I emailed my resume to the assistant principal and almost immediately got a response back. Here it is:
“Thank you for your interest in McKinney ISD and our campus.  We are beginning the process of reviewing applications online.  I will include your resume to review. Thank you and good luck with your future endeavors.”

Could my time of waiting be over? Is it finally God’s timing for me to step into what He has gifted and prepared my heart to do? I’m trying to not get too excited, but this just seems like fate and His will. Be praying for me!
