So it's official. I'm going back to school. Starting either this summer or next fall I will be a student at USC Upstate. I found out today that I will need to take 73 hours of classes to get my certification to teach early childhood grades. I am so excited and so motivated. I know I am going to do well and I can't wait! I will find out later on this week more information so I will be sure to update. Keep me in your prayers.

Miss Petty, Future Teacher
I really, really want to be a teacher. I want that more than anything right now! I have looked into schools to either get another bachelor's degree or even get a master's degree in teaching. I looked into Converse's masters of arts in teaching degree, but I'm afraid I won't get into because my GPA from college isn't the greatest. I decided to look into the PACE program. SC offers people with bachelor degrees the opportunity to become a certified teacher in certain at risk areas. The only problem is that with my communication degree I would have to teach middle or high school english. I am definitely NOT doing that. I decided to check into USC Upstate's college of education. I applied Thursday and sent in my transcript. Today I was looking online at their website and found out that they have a program for people who already have a bachelor's degree and want to get certified to teach. It takes 2 to 3 years, but they accept people with a GPA between 2.0 and 2.5. I would qualify! I called and talked to the dean and she told me to send an unofficial transcript to her on Monday and they would tell me within the next couple days if I'm accepted or not. I don't want to get my hopes up, but y'all I'm so excited!
I've also applied for a job working as an assistant with special needs classroom in district 5 in Spartanburg county. I want this so bad! I interviewed on Thursday and should find out within the next few days if I got it or not. I need to get in the classroom. I like working at CVS. The people are great, the benefits are awesome, and it's a pretty interesting job. I decided to try to get in the classroom because I figure that by the time I am certified it might be easier for me to get a job if I'm already in the education field. I will try to keep you updated.
On another note, my MeMa has been living with us for the past month or two. Please pray for my family. We need patience like crazy! She can be soooo annoying. The house is burning up, the TV is so loud, and she just bugs the pee out of me. Please pray for MeMa as well because she is recovering from a reversal shoulder replacement. Hopefully things will start looking up.
Thanks for all of the prayers.
