Teach for America Placement

I had a conference call this evening with the Teach for America field placement staff in St. Louis. She said I could expect emails and phone calls for available positions any day now, especially because I passed my Praxis:). They place the majority of their corp members within the city of St. Louis, so I hope that I am placed decently close to my house.

Everyone in Teach for America has been so nice and accommodating. I have had several corp members (past and present) reach out to me to answer my questions, tell me about St. Louis, ease my concerns about the transition, and give me information on institution. I have never been a part of a sorority or anything like that, but I have been paired with a current corp member and it sounds like she will be my "big sister." She will drive me to interviews, show me the city and answer any questions I have.

As the days get closer and closer, I feel more and more confident with my decision. I am so excited and mentally ready to become a teacher.

Quote of the day: "Goals are simply dreams that become reality through dedication and perseverance."

Countdown: 17 days!!!
