It was simple with the principal at the school, and they had me answer some questions about my commitment and how I can collaborate with the teachers. Another question was how I can work with multicultural students and what kind of teaching strategies I can apply.

The Assistant Director of Federal Programs for Sampson County Schools had discovered from a mutual friend that I was a certified teacher, but was having problems obtaining a teaching position in the county I was in. The Assistant Director and the Program Director called and asked if were interested in an ESL position that they had available. I was interested, and an interview appointment was scheduled for the following day.
