2.5. That’s how many days I have left with my students. 2.5. It’s been a hell of a year and here we are. Finally. 2.5 days left.
I was feeling something tonight so I made a lil video lip syncing to one of my favorite Spanish songs (yeah yeah I’m posting it for you to see, here ya go)
And yeah, I’ve been feeling JOY. I connected with my new department chair at my new high school and she asked me something that has changed my spirit. Another teacher in the department decided to retire so they were interviewing for another Spanish teacher this week. Nothing is set in stone and we don’t even know if this will go forward, BUT… she asked if I’d be interested in teaching AP Spanish next year. *cue opening the heavens* This has been a career goal of mine but something I hadn’t really thought of as a soon possibility. But to have this offered, for them to think of me after having met me once in the interview… I feel so much joy. She commented on how BEAUTIFUL (in all caps) my Spanish was during the interview and that definitely lifts the spirits. Then I was talking to my coworker friend about this, and she said this shows how much they respect me and see how good I am after just the interview! I’m so excited to join this team. I have so many amazing ideas and I can’t wait to do my thing and shine where I’m meant to be.
So, next Thursday morning I’ll head over to the new school to meet the team and talk more about the schedule for next year. Again, the whole AP thing might not even move forward, and if it doesn’t and now isn’t my time to teach AP, I’ll be happy with that too. But just the possibility, the fact that she thought of me… well let’s just say I’ve been jammin’ to my Spanish music almost nonstop this whole week. And that, letting my passion shine and living in that joy, yeah. That’s it.
