When I started uni I thought I would be the oldest person by many years and would not make any friends. I was SO wrong. I was not the oldest person (but just about!)...and I have made lifelong friends, I have learnt a lot about being a teacher and many other things as well. I worked hard, I achieved well and loved just about every minute of it.
I have spent the last 6 weeks working as a casual teacher. I am growing in confidence every day and am enjoying myself immensely. I love how children's minds work.
Last Wednesday at 2:50pm the DEC called me to say they were offering me a full-time permanent position at Newport Public School for 2014. I was amazed, I found it hard to breathe as I hung up the phone and I am still on cloud 9, dreaming about what class I might have.
On this coming Friday I will visit the school and meet the Principal and staff and I CAN'T WAIT!
Watch this space as my planning begins...
