I interviewed for the entrance into the Ed. Program this semester. I talked to other students who had their interviews that day, but when I got home from class, I didn't think about it. My interview was scheduled for 8:30 pm, and at 8:36pm i got a call from Pam, which I immediately knew I had dropped the ball. Having had a class with Pam, she knew I was not in the habbit of missing class or being late, so she covered for me. I rushed to put on some nice clothes, sped to the school, and apologized emphatically to my interviewees when I arrived twenty minutes late (not a good start to my professional carreer). Steve and Lisa both had teased me and had fun with the situation and when it was time for the interview to start, they told me to forget about it and focus on the interview. It took me a few minutes to settle down, but Steve, Lisa, and Prof. Garrett were all very nice.
The interview went very well, and at the end I was encouraged, especially by Prof. Garrett, to think about at least student teaching at a private school because she saw the "Pastor side" of me that would be beneficial to students in a Christian school. Originally I had no desire to teach in private schools, but after their encouraging words, I have not ruled out the possibility of doing so.

Oh man, you got lucky on that one to have people who were nice to you.
I think that what they said to you is great and I can totally see it and I don't even know you all that well.
I hope that your beginning of the path in the school of ed goes amazing and you have a good time and learn many things!
Wow, glad that you were close to your phone that night! Isn't it interesting how a suggestion from someone can change the focus of the direction we are heading? As a teacher you will have many opportunities to impart wisdom to your students.
