There is hope! I found a full time job to apply for that is right up my alley. It's a college outreach specialist. It pays well and I'd still get to help students, which is one of my favorite parts of teaching. Keep your fingers crossed! I'm trying not to get too excited about it so that if I don't get it, I won't be so disappointed. It should take a month to actually hear anything about the position, but I'm gonna apply and nurture that tiny flame of hope!
