The best way to wake up

is to a phone call from a principal.

My mom was born and raised here in Long Beach and attended Bethany School (it’s a school and a church). My grandparents went to church there, and my aunt and uncle attended the youth events. When I was younger, it was where we went to church when we visited and I remember loving it.

So my mom had been bugging me to apply there, saying God had put it on her heart, especially since I was living so close now. They weren’t listed anywhere online with job openings so I had to call and ask if they were hiring. They said to send in my resume for review as they were still unsure about fall positions. That was in February. Haha. I decided to wait until May so that my resume didn’t get lost on a desk as they usually don’t do any hiring in February. I sent it out on Thursday. THURSDAY.

This morning I woke up to a voice mail from the principal, saying he had received my letter and resume and would love for me to come in, meet with me and fill out an application.

Needless to say, it was hard for me to fall back asleep as I was so overcome with emotion (happy) from that. A PRINCIPAL CALLED AND IS INTERESTED. I am trying not to get too excited or nervous, but I can’t help but think “what if?”

I just know the day I land a job, after not working for over 9 months, will be a day for the history books.

Wow! Believe it or not, I used to attend Bethany when I first lived in So Cal! I believe I even applied for a sub job there before I got the job at Biola.
