Long term substitute position!

Started my long-term sub position at University High School in Irvine right now. Goes on until the end of the school year. :)

Just in case you ask, why am I substituting at such an affluent school if I am so adamant in obtaining a teaching position at a disadvantaged school. Well, it all started with me finishing credential school right when the education budget cuts started occurring. As a result, I decided to teach English in Vietnam for half a year hoping by the time I arrive back in the US, the status of the educational system would improve. Lo and behold it didn't improve when I returned to the US. What made it worse was all the hiring freezes, this included substitute positions. Luckily, my methodologies teacher in the UCI credential program is the principal at a school in Irvine and was so able to directly add me into the IUSD subbing system.

My goal is still to teach in LAUSD, so I've only been applying to those positions. I'm just happy this long-term sub position gives me some sort of stability up until the end of the academic school year.
