Today I feel better about things.
Inspiration and encouragement come from the most unexpected and wonderful places. I recently had my hair cut by a wonderful gal at a salon in Beaverton. She recently moved here from Texas. The subject came up that I had been laid off. She shared a story with me about how she had been unexpectedly let go from a job once too, but that it opened a door to a better career. "I know it's hard, but don't worry. I can tell you're a smart girl", she said. "Something better will turn up." She was my angel that day. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I was so thankful that she said it!
One of my "other mothers" was my angel the other day. Her husband is extraordinary and hard-working. She told me that he has been laid off three times in his life. I was so surprised. But I was very relieved; I realized that it just happens. But it happens for a reason.
I've set the wheels in motion to apply for grad school in January. Oregon State has a one-year immersion program where I could get my teaching license and my M.A.T. I'm leaning towards ECE/Elementary Education to start out with. I'd like to be licensed through 12th grade eventually.
I think I get it. I'm supposed to be somewhere I can make a difference.
