lzfan715 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Congatulations Mandy! Now you can come replace my English teacher who does nothing! Those pictures were wonderful, and you look so happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Congradulations. Do you plan to teach? You say you lost a friend? To tragedy? If you dont want to say, I understand. Good luck. Its always good to see someone succeed in education. Its not an easy task. I have an Associates degree. have debated whether to go back and get the BA but I dont want the debt. I have 3 years, need one more for a BA. Its tough these days, for grads. No gaurantees but at least they can never take an education away from you. We didn't literally lose her as in death--we literally lost her, as in we couldn't find her form our graduation ceremony to that picture. (she's in good health and fine, thank God...) Thanks, Hotplant! I'm quite happy! LZ--I laughed when I saw that, though I know you feel that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spats Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I GRADUATED TODAY! I GRADUATED TODAY! I GRADUATED TODAY!!!! Before you start looking at the pictures, read this! I was in the first row of undergraduates. I was in the 4th row of the seating on the floor. I have a white tassel. (it will help you find me) Me before we left the house...(I'm not digging my graduation pictures...) Oh, the confetti! They also blew out little cotton bits that looked like snow. Here they are! Brand-spanking new teachers! (English teachers, that is...) Amanda, me and Elizabeth. (three out of the six total English Ed degrees...and we lost a friend along the way...) Congratulations!! Nice pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manderlyh Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks guys. My next big hurdle is getting a job. Yes, I want to teach, which means I will be substituting for the entire semester. There were only two openings at semester--and I think really experienced teachers got the jobs because none of my friends and I got them. : ( I am going to make nice big posters with my name, phone number, email, and "substitute ID number" so I can post them in all of the schools' teachers lounges. I'm so broke I can't even pay my internet, phone or car insurance bills. (My mom is giving me car insurance money for Christmas...D'oh! Thanks mom...I can keep driving.)

You are going to be an AWESOME teacher!! Sending you best wishes for a fast and successful job search. Someday you'll look back on these lean times with fondness, you'll remember the sense of accomplishment and the excitment of not knowing exactly what lies in your future.

manderlyh Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks ladies. I'm a bit proud of myself, despite being unemployed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hartman Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 You goooo grrrrrrrrrrl. This is a hard act to follow. Sometimes that's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks ladies. I'm a bit proud of myself, despite being unemployed. Despite nothing! You graduated from college, that is HUGE! That's bigger than huge that's like huge on an elephant's scale. You can come teach me English, my teacher uses our class like a second planning period. And she tries to discourage me from giving my opinion, but that's a long story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 ^I'd love to come and teach you English, but I don't know if I can move across the country! LOL I've got my empty diploma cover on display in my living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It's not cross-country only a few states. You'd have to put up with a few really stupid kids, but you'd have me. And my awesome friend Kat, you'd really like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 ^LOL I'd have to go BACK to school to meet your state's certification requirements, too. (each state has its own set of requirements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I saw somewhere you were contemplating a master's, no biggie, just come here and get one after you make up a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
