"A Real Cosmetology Teacher"

This week I received an email that said " call me asap about a job after school." When I saw the name of the person I thought, I don't know him like that, but I called him and he said he thought of me when the middle school program coordinator for the after school program needed a real cosmetology teacher to work with the middle school students once a week, he was impressed with comments that the students had made about me when he worked at ARC. Again I didn't know him like that,well just in passing I would say hello. Well I spoke with the coordinator and she explained the job to me and told me what she needed me to do and that she had heard about my program and that I was a real cosmetology teacher, and I'm like wow this week I learned that I made quite an impression on my students and some of the other faculty and staff when it came to my program, and I didn't even have a lab. I told her to email me more details, and when she did she also sent me attachments telling me that other middle schools were interested in me too, and if I would let them know if I could come to their school once a week too. I know I am where I'm suppose to be right here and right now teaching what I love to all that will receive it. vj
