New Pastures

I found out yesterday that I'm officially moving on to a middle school in my area. I am unbelieveably excited about that! You know, I've learned something in my short years of holding jobs and/or job hunting. You can send out a million resumes, really good ones, and maybe hear a few responses, or nothing...But, if you know someone, who knows someone, things tend to roll a lot faster.  At 22, I have held about what I would call 3 significant jobs. One for the largest newspaper in Delaware. I was there for almost 2 years...I got that job after I was interviewed by the same paper for graduating high school with a lot of college credits. I called up the editor of the Business desk and basically said that I was looking for a job because I was moving up to the area for college...A few short interviews later, and that worked out. My high school was really kind of a wild card. I read the ad in the paper and sent in my information. But the middle school worked out similarly. I have a lot of respect for the principal of my high school. He's a great person, and I really do admire him (I'm not just saying that because he could possibly google my name). Knowing that I was somewhat up in the air about next year, he mentioned me to his friend, who happened to be the principal of this middle school. A few conversations later, and I have a job for the fall! Amazing how things work out.
