Brighter Horizon

For weeks now I have been worrying about the results from my first Special Ed. Praxis II test and yesterday was the moment of truth......would I be stuck teaching English forever (stuck, even though I love it) or would I be halfway to achieving my goal of becoming certified to teach K-12 Sp. Ed??? Well I am happy to report that I am officially halfway certified as I PASSED!!!! I am registered to take the second Sp. ed praxis on January 10 and WHEN I pass it (not if) I will be totally certified!!!

Dr. Eicher (a great sp. ed. instructor of mine) wants to help me set up interviews here in Omaha with the Westside Community School system as soon as I pass both tests. The other day he told me about a neat opportunity that I might be interested in which would be being a Home Bound teacher who is someone that goes to homes of children who can't attend school because of, say, chemotherapy on cancer draining them. I think that would be so neat because I wouldn't be in the classroom all day every day and such. It sounds like the possibilities here in Omaha with a sp. ed. degree are endless :) I'm just excited to see what I end up doing a few months from now!!!
