Uncharted Territory

So, I did one thing today that scared me. They say you should do this---they being all those philosophical whoevers out there that try to give advice. Anyway, I finally put my application in for the SECEP organization. This organization caters to students with special needs ranging from moderate disabilities, medical disabilities and severe disabilities. Also, there are programs within the organization dealing with students who have been expelled. I didn't apply for those. Come on, I'm 5'0, 110 lbs, you think I can handle thugs---hell no. The program I applied for is the teacher development program for people who would like to become teachers. This is another avenue that I have been toying with in my head ever since I graduated from college back last May. Not to dote on myself but I think I would make a good teacher. I am compassionate about the things that I do. I am definately no dummy. I have organizational skills and I'm good with time management (when I want too). I have a love of knowledge and enjoy teaching others things that I know. I already teach yoga and while that is not special needs students it is still teaching. I love getting up in front of people and talking. I am not afraid to speak and be heard. I believe this would be very rewarding and fulfilling. I submitted my application, transcripts from ODU and resume. I will hear back from them within the next few days to see if I qualify for the information session. I hear this is a process so patience is a virtue. Working with special needs students is very challenging and I think I have what it takes to take on this challenge.
