I am in the final leg of this long pre-service journey. Now, waiting is not weird, and my patience is sky-high. I talked to my PO (placement officer) yesterday and she emailed me back stating that I am qualified and she is looking at 2 programs for me. My original program is Secondary English teaching with an emphasis on literature. The other option is a primary school position with more emphasis on community development. I stated that I would rather have her decide and I think that that is the best thing for me. Even if I have to wait a few more weeks to get an invite.
