This morning I had my follow up interview with my Peace Corps recruiter, and she is nominating me for a Secondary English Teaching position! How exciting is that! However, in order to be a competitive applicant I must complete at least 30 hours of "English, ESL, TEFL, foreign language, or literacy tutoring experience in classrooms or one-on-one."
I know what I'm going to spend my summer doing! Hopefully I will have some sort of part time job so I can earn some money and then spend the rest of my time gaining English tutoring experience (as well as going to various conventions and seeing my sister in San Francisco).
I also advanced to the second part of the Teach for America application process! This coming Tuesday I will learn more about what exactly I have to do during the interview day. I am slightly apprehensive about this since I have to teach a five minute lesson on anything of my choosing as well as have a one-on-one interview, but I know it will be a great learning process for me regardless of the outcome.
It seems that no matter what I do I will become a teacher in some sort of capacity! Which is a good thing since it's in my genes (my grandmother was an excellent teacher).
In other news, the ten pages I need to write for my senior seminar paper are due Monday morning and not today at 5PM! Yay for slacking off! I still have plenty to do over spring break (homework and planning wise) but hey, I don't have to go to class for an entire week! :)
Woot woot, congratulations! Going to be a hectic summer for sure. :D
