Beloved of All
Hi,
I need prayer for wisdom and favor as I look for work in the teaching industry. I am a former middle and high school English teacher. I really enjoy this age, but I get stuck everytime I fill out an application that asks if I have ever been dismissed or asked to resign.
As a Christian I want to be honest. to be honest, I think most of us have been fired at some point in our lives, but this questions stops me dead in my tracks nearly every single time! Even though I know I would be a great fit and I have learned from my mistakes.
I took a grade I don't normally enjoy on a substitute teaching assignment. It was preschool. I had some out of control kids and regrettably, I grabbed a kids shoulders after he was running away and spoke firmly to him. He wasn't hurt, he was smirking at me, but I was embarrassed by me losing my cool cuz I raised my voice. It was reported I was "shaking a kid". OMgoodness! I didn't "shake" him. I juddered a tiny bit. I feel bad about what happened but I hate filling out apps because they want to know the scoop. The way they word the app makes me feel like I am being demonized. Have you ever violated a kid's safety or acted bla bla? I apologized to the school and repented, but this was grossly blown up out of proportion and I just don't want to go into it on any application. I love high school and I don't want a stupid incident to ruin my future. Please pray for favor for me. I don't want to be passed up.
