Great News!
On Tuesday of this past week, a school called me back after an interview I had with them last Wednesday and offered me a job as their technology teacher and support specialist. What a great way to start your week off! This was a nice little surprise because Mary and I did not know when I was going to get a job.
This has been a hard little phase for us because this came up unexpectedly, and we have never talked about how we would handle if one of us lost our jobs emotionally, financially and spiritually. But we know now of how we handled this situation, and what we need to do next time something like this comes about. We both knew that I would eventually get a job, it is how we did not know of the other implications and stresses that come along with it.
Here is a little more about the job. I am going to be mainly a technology support specialist for the whole elementary school. My jobs would include being responsible for the school website, correcting any technological problems that teachers have, teaching students the basics of computer software, hardware and internet capabilities in respect to what they are learning in the classroom and helping teachers maximize their use of the technology in their classrooms. This is a great opportunity because it gives me a break from some of the stressful portions of a job that I needed a break from, but I am still interacting with children and working closely with the teachers. I get more excited as I think of all the possibilities toward improving this school.
In addition to more good news, so far I have been cleared to begin a study that has great potential to help me with my disease. As some of you guys know I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis. It is a disease of the large intestine. I have been taking a couple different sets of medicine, including 12 pills a day of disodium balsazide to help with the symptoms of the disease. The disease may or may not be genetic and it is caused by an overactive immune system. The drug study right now is hopefully in a couple years to move me from taking 12 pills a day to one shot every two weeks. Mary and I are excited because the 12 pills a day doesn't really control the symptoms and we can't wait until I can go one full year and not have any symptoms of the is disease. I was diagnosed with the disease for 2 years now, but I have been suffering from its symptoms for about 4 years. All of the drug study is paid for and I get paid to be in it! One of the downfalls to this drug study is the effect on my immune system. Since I have an overactive immune system the drug will try to reduce its activity therefore making me very susceptable to infections. So cleaniness is of the utmost importance for the next couple years. In this study though it is proven that the body adapts and I am able to better fight off infections after taking the medicine for a long period of time.
Well if you have any more questions feel free to drop a line on the comment line. If you received this through the email, please pass it forward to friends and family!
