Summer - Happened So Fast!

This summer was absolutely crazy!! The time just flew by.

In pursuit of becoming a school teacher, Bonny participated in a program through the school district called ARL (Alternative Route to Licensure). Basically, Bonny wants to teach but because her degree was in something other than education, she isn't eligible to teach unless she went through this program.

It was a long summer. Bonny was going from work to school and whenever she was at home it was focused on sleeping or studying. Austin was frustrated because they never got to spend time together. Let me tell you, nothing makes time fly faster than needing MORE time.

Less than a week after completing the ARL program, Bonny got her first job interview at a high school! She thought she botched the interview and was really stressed over it but the administrators must have heard something they liked because they verbally offered her a position in their school. The way the school district works is that the principals get to select the teachers but the school district is the agency that does the hiring. So, Bonny was informed they would put in a request to hire her and now it's just a matter of time for the official stamp of approval from the school district.

It's an exciting time for Austin and Bonny. New opportunities and adventures are on the horizon.
