I got a job offer and I took it. It was my second interview. It is younger kids, from elementary to middle school. The salary is six thousand more of what I had before. No high school, no seniors.
It is private too but younger students, higher salary, smaller school.
Public school pay duble, but, if I wait for a public school I am afraid I would end up with nothing since there is a huge cut of budget and many positions are being cut off, and after the finish relocating teachers already in the system, they will not know what positions they will have available. But arts and foreign language are sure being to be less positions to offer than they used to be.
So, I wanted to be prudent and took this offer that in any way is much better than what I have.
Now, I will bless the walls, the windows, the doors, and the people of this school. I will go with a positive attitude and will work hard for them. I will got o councelling so I can have a better reaction to regular problems
God will help.
Thank you for your prayers.
Love you all.
God bless you all.

Hallelujah!!
Such GOOD NEWS, Lupita! A fresh start!
I knew you could do it!
Let's celebrate! :lol:

((((((((((((( Lupita )))))))))))
God answered your prayers -- how blessed are you!
Wonderful news :)
Everything you wished for it seems, as you mentioned a desire to teach younger children -- and needed a better salary to live and to do the things you wish to do in life.
Oh, I am so overjoyed - beyond expression.
Personally, I will continue to lift you up in prayer, for a most enjoyable teaching experience - in your new position.
"God Bless You"
And, YES, you will be a such blessing and an enrichment to this new school.
Love,
Leah

Wonderful news, Lupe!
I am SOOOOOO excited for you! What a wonderful school year you will have.
I had intended to go back and post on your "positive things about the board" thread. Can't find it (I'm getting old!) If you would locate it and bump it for me, my eyes would be so grateful!
Love you

Oh Lupita,
I am smiling from ear to ear.
I am so happy for you.
More money - younger kids (who, I think, will be much easier to teach)

Oh Lupita this is just the greatest new I could hear from you.!! Really Really!!!!
I have been so concerned about you in that other job and how unhappy you were, and now you have a brand new chance to 'show your stuff'
There are stories on here whereby some people stay stuck in the same old hole (no names come to mind) and never have the chance to move on, to pull the feet out of the muck and mire and go forward.
This is great
Love Izzy

YOUNGER STUDENTS!!!!!
MORE MONEY!!!!
NEW RELATIONSHIPS.....

No one knows what the future may bring, but...
you'll darn sure spend less time being confused by it....
and....
more time utilizing the skills and power of discernment you've been honing over the past year.

No doubt about it, Lupita.....

Congratulations, Lupita!
I am very happy for you and wish you the very best success in your new endeavors.
Isn't that wonderful how one closed door allowed you to walk through another, better paying one?
And it didn't just happen by accident, either. You worked hard to get there!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.

Ten years ago, I was teaching music in a private school in my country, in my little town. My school choir, secondary and elementary, wan a state contest. It was a shcool choir contet for the whole state. They started by city areas, then district, we have distric schools there too, then region, then state. My two choirs wan both, the state championship. My choir and the trohpy was in all the news papers in town and in the state.
I was with my son home, alone the two of us, celebrating a huge triunphe.
My mother, despite that hse reads all the news papers, she did not even called me to congratulate me.
After a year of nightmare at a horrible school, I was unemployed for three weeks. I was suffering. After I got the offer, I felt a relieved, I got sleepy, very nice. I felt in peace. I finally had a job.
I wrote my mother, she wrote me back, saying that she was happy that I got a job, that I had to be doing something good or otherwise how come god is blessing me, and how could I be so ungrateful that I did not even say thanks to her for her prayings because with tears in her eyes she prayed for me to get a job. What a way to make me feel bad after so much pain I have endured all my fu****ng life. She also said she is coming for my son's graduation ceremony from univerwsity, and that she expect that I am going to be a good person and not to fight with her and treat her well after all the sacrifices she has made for me.
OK, I say that becuase I come to the board and I see 14 people congratulating me and none of them are asking me to say thanks becuase they prayed for me.
14 people saying nice things not asking me to return the compliment. That is the way that a person should give anything. Not expecting anything in return.
My ex-friend H, she always demanded me to say thanks, just because she wrote me e-mails. Just like my mother. Such and N.
After reading my mom's e-mail, I do not feel as happy as I was. Now I have to put up with her but I have to practice. Detachment, I will enudre and God will help me for accepting my mother and treating her well, no matter what she does, because resentment only hurts the person whi feels it.
I do not have resentment towards her anymore. I feel sorry for her. She lives in the darkness and will be there until the day she dies. I am so sorry for her.
Well, thank you for rejoycing with me. I was saying that when I was in my same city with my whole family i di dnot have anybody to celebrate, now that I am in another country I find more people to celebrate than I did with my own family. What a paradox.
Thank you dear friends God bless you!!!!
About the job, I think I will have more peace. But it is more work, no planning period, nine consecutive hours of work, with only 30 min lunch, it is going to be very hard, but I will not complain. I will bless the place, the people and everyting and be positive and grateful to the hand that feeds me. If on the road I can get something better I will take it. God always has helped me. Still nothing comparable with public school. Public school pay 40k to start, benefits are incredible, retirement plan, union, counceling service!!!!!!!
So, if during the journee God allows me to get a public school, I will take it. So far, there are only five openings, I applied to all of them and nobody has called me. God will help.
Thank you again for being happy with me.

Thank you for sharing, and truly, I feel it is a priviledge and a blessing to share in your celebration, and also, to know you, sincerely.
Like you, I feel sorry with compassion for my mother, who is very much captive to her own world of darkness. All I can do is to continue to pray for her, as I do (with precious heartfelt serenity).
Please know that I feel truly uplifted in my heart to see your proactive expression of faith and trust in God - to provide and lead the way for you, as you follow.
That is very much the song of my heart also (which is how I have survived my personal life tests and trials - and arrived where I stand today).
"God Bless You" Lupita, in all you do, with every sincere good wish for your heart, your life, to be filled with inner contentment, peace, and joy.
Wherever you go, you will always take your genuine precious heart with you - guard it well.
Love to you,
Leah

One of the steps to detachment....
is understanding.
Acceptance is the next, in my own experience.
Then you have to be careful with reality going in and out of focus.... it keeps doing that for a while..
Who can believe, non stop, that their mama is an emotional terrorist?
Someone who's accepted the truth and lost all expectation that it will ever change or be different, that's who.
You've really grown, (((Lupita.....)))
seriously.
I get tingles all over reading your posts, these days.
I want to say..... I always felt your intelligent burning desire to understand the WHY of what's happening to you.....
and resolve it.
I beleive whatever you focus on..... you'll succeed at.
It's sometimes so very difficult to remain focused on such painful things... esp if our spirits have a lot of hope of redemption.

Thank you lea, the benefit it is that I feel better knowing that somebody else suffered the same thing. You suffered your mother and you feel sorry for her. Amazing.
Lighter, yous post is so insightful. In and out of focus. Hmmmmm. I was out of focus at 3:00 am when I was reading my mom's e mail. But I cannot imagine what hse suffered at the hands of her own mother. My Grand ma was an N too. And she did not even had a mother. She died when she was six yo. Her step mother was mean to her. So, it has been generations of traumatized people. My father did not have a mother either. She died when he was 5 yo. His step mother was mean to him and his own dad was mean to him. I am happy I broke the vicious cyrcle.
I am focused again now. Hopefully I will tolerate my mother and feel sorry for her. So sorry for her.
Yesterday I saw on tv a two year old child who was abandoned by his parents in wal mart with a note, "we cant take care of him" what a terror he must have suffered all alone with anybody to protect him, what a fear forever in his life to experience!

Ahhhhhh Lupita.
YOu have broken the cycle....

Hey, today is Saturday 21st of June, year 2008. I wook up with peace, for the first time in a long time. I do not know what is going to happen. But I feel content.
To think that me need what we do not have is a big mistake.
I do not have a county public school job. But I have a job. And I will bless these people and work hard for them.
In the mean time, if God provides me with a county school position, I will take it. I will keep my eyes opene.
Thank you Lord for this day. Thank you Lord for this board and for these friends here who rejoice with me and wish me well. Thank you Lord for a healthy son and loving and sweet son. Thank you Lord because he has open his eyes and discovered on his own that his GF had serious problems. He is not going back with her unless she gets councelling.
Thank you Lord for everything you have provided.
I am going to see a nice apartment on the beach that I might be able to rent. I am becoming naughty. I will have to put many things in storage because that is too little. But it has been a dream to live by the water, this is affordable and close to work. If I do not take it somebody else will.
Hmmm, am I lucky or am I looking for trouble? Since I feel well and recovering, am I looking itching to have something to scratch?
-
Lupita,
Sounds like many things are coming together for you and peace is on the horizon. Congratulations on your new job and having much to look forward to!
An apartment on the beach sounds heavenly.
Thinking of you, hoping you are having a wonderful adventure with your new path.

IME.... feeling better always lead to feeling strong enoug to handle anthing.
Of course.... we aren't strong enough to handle "anything."
What I realize was missing.... for me..... was proper boundaries.
It appears you have enough information.... to put boundaries in place and defend them.
At least to me, it does.
Lupita in a cozy lovely clutter free space by the sea.....
with boundaries in place.
::nod::
That sounds healthy.
Not naughty.
::raising hand::
I vote yes.
It's Lupita's time now.....

I went to see the place. He is going to send me a cntract by e mail so he does the back ground check on me, and after that he is coming next week end to recieve his money and give me my kies. On Monday I will sign my contract with my new school.
I will take pictures of my view and uploaded here so you can enjoy what I see.
Hopefully, nothing bad will happen till I move there. Or he gives the place to somebody who can pay more. He told me on the phone, after a few minutes of bargain that we had a deal. But I am paying one hundred dollars less than what he wanted. This is the after bubble market so he most be hurting. But, probably if osmebody with more moeny comes between now and the next week end that we close the deal, OMG, I will wait with patience.
If it means to be, it will be.
Love to you all.

Nothing pleases me more, Lupita, that these changes are taking place for you. You are being so blessed.
You deserve this and sound so happy. It is wonderful.

It sounds like you have an accord with the landlord: )
::Looking forward to seeing Lupita's lovely view::
I wish I could help you move and organize.
I like doing that for others... not myself, so much.
Tomorrow I spend the day at a sick friend's house.... cleaning cleaning cleaning and caring for her autistic nephew.

Dear Lupita,
Once again you have risen to the occasion and overcome adversity. I am so happy for you. You really deserve this break.
I don't think you need to have a better attitude. I like you the way you are. Your goodness just shines through. The kids need this so much. So many teachers don't seem to have empathy. They are efficient and task oriented,. It is a lovely gift you can give kids.
I work in elementary schools and I find it good for my spirit. They are so loving, once they make a connection with you.
Love,
Sea
