Garrett's Announcement

#1 Postby wx247 » Wed Apr 14, 2004 4:33 pm

Hi everyone. I would just like to take a minute of your time to tell you of some big news in my life (or at least potential big news).

My alma mater (high school) has an opening for a debate teacher. This position has remained unfilled. Thus, I was called in today to interview for the position. I am not certified by the State of Missouri, but I will (hopefully) be coaching the team (which only requires 60 hrs [aka: a valid substitute teacher liscence]). Any of you who know me, know that speech and debate are my biggest passion (with weather a close second). I was assured today that there was a 99.9999999999% chance I would get the job.

I will find out 100% next week and I will let you know for sure. This is a dream come true for me. I know it may seem trivial, but your thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. :multi:

Good luck Garrett. You seem like a very well rounded, knowledgeable person even though I don't know you very well. I think you will be a prime candidate for the position. :)
