It's Official!

For the past several months I have been hoping to land a teaching job at GIANT Step's, which is an autism preschool. It took longer than expected to get the position posted and to do interviews. On my birthday I was finally able to apply. And last wednesday I interviewed, on friday I was informed I got the job.
I am very excited about this new experience in my life. I am also a little scared.. ok maybe a lot. I have worked there as an aide for the past 4 years so I think I know what I an doing. But with the teaching job comes more authority and responsibility to the kids, and that is what scares me. I want to help them as much possible and in the best way possible. GIANT Step's is a great program and I plan on using what I have learned there the past 4 years and running with it. As well as the things I will continue to learn from the kids that are currently in my class. I hope and pray that I can help the children that I am working with progress and better live their lives. They are so cute and fun to work with and they mean so much me.
Heres to a great first year as a teacher!
