My Work Has Paid Off

Finally, after all my hard work, worrying, frustration, anger, and sadness, I have achieved what feels like the impossible these days: I got a teaching job!

I applied and interviewed for a position, and was unfortunately turned down. Yet again another rejection, but the teacher they originally hired for the position gained another job at another school. The school then asked me if I would like to take that position, and of course I said yes!

This job is perfect for me, it's in a great location, it's near my family, it's teaching English, and it's with a great group of kids. I am finally happy, and working very hard at my new job. Of course I am overwhelmed, and frustrated on a daily basis, but it is definitely worth it.

I am thankful that I never let myself give up in the face of so much rejection. In the end, things worked out perfectly for my husband and I, and even though we are extremely busy these days, we are also very happy.

For all of you out there that are still struggling to find your dream job, the only advice I have is to never give up. I never stopped revising my resume, searching for jobs, sending out interest letters, interviewing at schools, etc. And finally someone gave me a chance to work.

Thanks to all of you who believed in me throughout this very tough year. I really appreciate all the support and love you gave me, which helped me succeed in the end.

Book # 30 and 31 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking-Glass

Over the past few days, I decided to read one of the free books that I downloaded on my nook, to really get a feel of how it is to read on it. One of my free books was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , and the second book Through the Looking-Glass. I've read the first book a few times, but I haven't read the second one yet, and I was curious to see how these books matched up against the popular Disney movies. I love these books, for the magical, imaginative, and interesting quality that they both possess. There are so many elements that are completely odd, and yet they say something about our society, how we name things, why we say certain phrases, etc. They are so quick and on spot, that I don't think children would understand them at first, but as an adult I picked up on so many of them. I've always loved the movie from Disney, but now after reading the two books, I realize that cartoon movie is a combination of the two books. Which is interesting, but I think ...

MORE VEGGIES!

So at the beginning of my fitness journey I decided to also concentrate on healthy eating. This meant that I reduced the amount of sugar I'm eating or drinking. I'm trying to add veggies into each meal everyday. I'm drinking more water. Thus far, I have been doing really well on my healthy eating goals. For the past 3 days I have drank 90 ounces of water, beating my 80 ounce goal. That's all in thanks to my new 30 oz inspiring water bottle. I have stayed away from sweets and sugars and cut out all soda. This was very difficult the first few days, but now I don't crave it at all. I get all my sugar from fruits that I eat throughout the day. I also snack on homemade trail mix that contains some dried fruits in it when I am craving something sweet. Lately I've been trying different ways to add new and more veggies into my daily meals. I ate a lot of steamed broccoli last week. This week I did meal planning and have roasted veggies in my lunch all week. I ma...

Tattoos.... Addictive or Not?

Tattoos although painful, are something that society accepts and even praises now a days. Long ago it was something that mostly men who were in some branch of the service did to prove their bravery and have a lasting memory of the honor they got while serving. Now not only do men get tattoos but more and more women are getting tattoos, and not just in places that you can't see all the time either. Kat VonD comes to mind when I think of women who are very liberal with tattoos and look amazing and beautiful with them as well, (even if she is a man stealer). She not only has a lot of tattoos, but she is an amazing tattoo artist and runs her own shop, you can watch her on LA Ink. I waited until I was completely sure, and had enough money before I got my first tattoo last year on spring break during student teaching. I had to wait until I had a break from school, because I got my first tattoo along the side of my right foot, and I would not have been able to wear the correct and appro...
