I know we all disagree from time to time, but I just thought I was particularly ugly in my comments. But thank you all for understanding. Still no word on the fellowship - I even called to check because I was worried I was having a problem with my e-mail and missed a notification. They said I'd hear something "shortly". I should've asked them to clarify that.

Teaching is one of the most honorable professions a person can choose to go into. I still remember Mr. Smith who reinforced my love of reading at a very young age. Mr Barnes who taught me to love art, and architecture. Mr. Campbell who instilled a deep respect for the sciences, and a love of world cultures in me. Good teachers can truly make a lasting impact in young people's lives. Good-Luck in your new career Nikki.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 So happy for you Nikki, congratulations. Now you should celebrate somehow, how about going to WDW?
Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey ^^^^I actually am going to WDW for a long weekend at the end of November. I hope the school I end up working at doesn't have a problem giving me a Friday and a Monday off. I can't cancel the trip - everything's paid for, including the flight and the MVMCP tickets. More importantly, my nephew would be heartbroken if I had to cancel!

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 Oh, and I am very glad things worked out for you Nikki. Far too often people don't get a chance to do what they're passionate about. Happy you're getting that chance!
