Transition
Time for a transition. This is exciting stuff because of the wonder of it all. What is waiting for me a few more months down the road? God has directed me here so it's gotta be good! I'm excited! I signed a pre-contract with Harris County to teach construction at the high school. This is the last stop for me. As many or all of you know, I am in the process of building a new house in Pine Mountain, which is coming along great. I intended to drive the 80 mile round trip each day to Columbus. My wife and I figured it was a sacrifice we could live with if it meant being able to live on the mountain. But then God opened this door at Harris county, 22 mile round trip. NTI was a major factor in getting the job. Generally, as I have been hearing, any teacher who has gone or is going through NTI, is almost a shoe in. I'm blessed to have been a student at NTI. Dr. B and Jess, you guys (girls) make NTI more than just another course. You have really put your hearts into it and that makes all the difference. Thank you!
Could not have said it better myself. Congrats on the job! A mile saved is a few bucks saved these days. NTI has been a huge help to me also.
