I graduated from Bowling Green State University in May of 2013. This next school year I am going to be teaching Kindergarten and first grade in Napakiak, Alaska. But getting this job started out a little bit differently than normal...
Picture this. It is 11:55pm after a long day of student teaching in a kindergarten class. The only reason I'm still awake is to sign up for the Teacher Job Fair at midnight along with the rest of the senior class of the college of education and people who graduated already. All I know is that I wouldn't mind moving out of Ohio. So midnight hits and it is a mad internet dash to see who can get an interview slot before they all fill up. I clicked on any interview that wasn't in Ohio, including one that said AK.
Now remember that I had been teaching kindergarten all day and it was about 12:15. I was exhausted and just wanted to go to sleep. My sleep addled brain processed AK to mean Arkansas.
It's not. It's Alaska.
Either way I kept the interview and it went great. Now I am moving to Napakiak, Alaska in less than 24 hours! This blog will keep track of my adventures (and I'm sure misadventures too)
You also didn't find out aka look into the school until 2 nights or the night before the interview.
