Hey! I got a job interview, finally!!! The interview is Monday, right after the first day of summer school. I'm very excited -- it is for the position of Title 1 teacher at a school that is about 15 minutes away from my house. I would still not have my own classroom, but it would be a very good stepping-stone to eventually having my own class, and right now, I'm not gonna be picky!! I truly think I would do very well in this type of position, because I work very well with small groups and one-on-one, and am practiced at assessing the individual needs of my students. I have to bone up on the specific "jargon" that the programs in our school district use, so that I sound like I know what I'm talking about!
Went to the gym yesterday evening, and got Isabella signed up. She was very hesitant to do it, because she is worried what people will think of her when she's working out. I know that's an adolescent thing, but it is frustrating to me, because in most situations she is NOT shy at all. I think she's afraid there'll be cute guys there that will see her sweating. LOL. She really does want to lose some weight and get in good shape, but we'll see if she is willing to sweat a little to get there! I told her she could bring a friend the first couple of times if she wants to -- we have a few visitors' passes -- so maybe that will make her feel a little more comfortable about it. I just hope she uses the membership, if only a couple of times a week, even. I'd just love to see her more active, and she would REALLY feel a difference once she got into the groove of having a regular workout. Because of my age, it takes a lot of work to see a little result, but at her age, I'll bet she could see noticeable results quickly.

Congrats on the job interview! I just went through that as well.. after all the time looking for a job, I finally got one! And it's the position I wanted, too! It's doing social work type stuff at this site I used to volunteer at. Anyway, I start on Wednesday. So good luck to you!
AAH! I need to get to the gym or be more active. I just don't want to go alone and I don't know anybody in this city since I'm still new here... Plus, I also don't want to work out in front of others right now :(

Wishing you the very best on your job interview; know you will do wonderful! You have a charming, engaging personality ... just be YOU! And, remember, they are just people too.
Wonderful to see you are going to the gym and that Isabella is going! It can be stressful ... just tell Isabella that the majority of the people there will simply be impressed that she is there and working out! Have found the atmosphere very supportive. Yeah YOUUU for the guest passes ... a very encouraging way to get her to go and enjoy it! Hey ... if I can go to the gym and work out at 330 lbs ... anybody can!!! ;p It's all how you approach it! I looked in the mirrors and thought ... Yeahhh Meeee for getting of my tushy and working out! ;]
Thanks soooo much for sharing! Please, please let me know how it goes on Monday! Will be thinking of you!!!
Hugggssss ...

And for your daughter, good for her. I don't think it's an adolescent thing- I'm still nervous! :D I've noticed at my college I work out- and everyone there is my age. and lots of hot guys! They often are really supportive- they like to see a girl making and effort there! :D

Congratulations on the job interview. That is fabulous and I hope that it works out. The jargon is the hard part. Most of the places you can go on the school's website to find out information and also look up specific information about items pertaining to title 1. My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Monday. Keep me updated.
