I got my Credential!

I opened my email this morning and found an email from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. I opened it and it was a confirmation of the issuance of my credential!!! I wasn't expecting it until the 14th!! So, as you can imagine, I am excited!

Applied for Credential

I just applied for my teaching credential and paid for it on the CA state website!!!! In 10 business days it will be posted and confirmed!!! I can't believe that I am fully credentialed; it seems so surreal! God has been with me (us) through this whole journey and I know that he will bless me to get a position where he needs me to be. WOW!!! AAAAAAAAAAgh! I am so excited!!!!

It's Official!

My teacher graded my work before he was required too! I am officially done with school! My grades have posted (I got an A in this last class; that makes all A's for my master's program even though some of them are A-'s ) and I am faxing my application for diploma and credential today!!!!!!!

His will be done!

I found out yesterday that I did not get selected to continue in the hiring process at Loomis School District. Needless to say, I cried. My sister was having a difficult emotional day too, so she came over and we cried together as we hugged. I know that there were many people praying for me to get the position if it was God's will; so, it must not be where He wants me to be. I know that He will bless me and has a plan for us, but it still hurts because that is what I wanted! Ha! So selfish of me; I know that His plan is going to be much better -- I just can't see it. Oh well. So, now plan B becomes plan A. As soon as my final grade is posted and I get a letter from the credential analyst stating that I have been recommended for credentialing, I will begin applying throughout California.

So, my sister and I worked out with "Fitness With the Pros" to work off our sadness. It worked, we felt a lot better afterwards! We had fun while we were sweating! I did not know that was possible! Hehe! It is a "Dancing with the Stars" workout. I am sore today. Whew!

I Got an Interview Appointment

Seriously, I got an appointment for an interview!!! Loomis Union School District just called and gave me first choice (because I was the first one they could get a hold of) of times. I chose 4:00 p.m. next Tuesday, the 27th!! There will be two principals and other members of the district on the panel interviewing me. Whew! Wow, my nerves have certainly kicked in now! Wish me luck and keep praying for me since I am at a disadvantage not quite being credentialed yet. Thank you!
