God's Tools and Answered Prayers

This is my first blog, everr. But here we go!

The past two days (Thursday and Friday) with the help of my dear mother and best friend Kelsey, I have semi put my classroom together. While at the school I have:

1. Met two theater teachers (both so nice)
2. Made a BTF (Best teacher friend, already)
3. Met some drill team girls
4. Found out I teach 7 Speech classes in a row, but have 8th period off everyday!
5. Calculated that my school is 38 miles away from my house

It has been a crazy couple of days and I have spent SOME money. But hopefully this stuff with last me for 37 years+ of teaching, just like it has lasted for my mom. I am still nervous about money, but I know God will provide everything I need. He has already given me a lot of the tools I need and has definitely calmed my nerves about one of my biggest fears... the teachers not liking/accepting me. Hour 1 that I was in the school, the teacher across the hall came over introduced himself and gave me so much insight to the ins and outs of teaching there. Day 2 I was invited to my first teacher hangout. Already, everyone has been so welcoming. I guess we will see how it goes on Tuesday which is my first teacher inservice! Until then... Thanks for reading!
