interview

I had my first job interview yesterday for my first REAL job. I'm almost 30 years old and have somehow managed to never have a full-time job. I've had plenty of part-time jobs, but never anything full-time. I've never had a salary. I've never had benefits. I've never done anything like this!

I've gone through a HUGE change the past few weeks as I've become open to change. I am open to a new job. I am open to the many many benefits that will come along with this job if I get it, or the benefits of another job if I don't get this particular job.

Even though I am open to change, I fought back tears through every single lesson yesterday. When I walked in the door, I cried the same way you cry when you find out someone has died. The only thing that made it better was Dan telling me, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

I have never loved any "job" more than I love teaching. I have faith that another season of life will allow me the opportunity to once again teach, but under different circumstances.

Who knows if I will get this job, but in my heart I know that it's time for me to move forward with the job hunt and my heart is broken because of it, but very much open to this change.
