The decision
For those of you who know me really well, this is something I have never done and it is very different for me. I have decided to take a road trip this summer to help me find a teaching job. I have been thinking and praying about this for a few days. It will be a combination of experiencing independence, spiritual journey, and trying to decide where God wants me to be to start a new chapter in my life.
For the last six months, I have been through many trials and tribulations. I lost my dad very suddenly in November, graduated with my master's in December, and lost my job with the Girl Scouts in January. Since then, I have been battling with them to get unemployment benefits. I was denied 4 times. On the last denial, I discussed this with an attorney who has been helping my sister and I deal with the specifics of my father's estate. He said that it would probably be best to just close that door on that difficult time. During this time, I have been living with my mom in New Mexico. I love my mom and I love New Mexico, but Texas will always be my home.
So all of this has lead me to this blog and my upcoming trip. I have been trying to get a teaching job for the last five years. I have applied in Midland, Odessa, New Mexico, and the Meteroplex with no luck. So what my goal is to travel to different towns and cities and personally go in and meet with whoever I have to in order to find a job at long last.
