I'm back from a very fun and a very enlightening two day conference in Palm Springs put on by the Alexander Graham Bell association. There was a lot that happened to make me think, and I don't think I have a nice and concise summary to give you all.
I was able to make two contacts that could potentially help me find a teaching position once we move back to Michigan. They were helpful, but at the same time, realistic. The southeast region of Michigan is over-saturated with teachers. Neither of them mentioned any openings in the oral deaf field. So, I'm faced with the very real possibility that I might not be able to do exactly what I want to do for a while. They were very nice in giving me all the contact information they had for oral-deaf programs in the region. I'll be getting in touch with those people this week, and continuing to pray that the Lord will provide.
Besides having a blast with my colleagues, this conference opened my eyes to the needs and issues within this growing field, and has sparked my imagination of what role I could play in the future. I've been inspired to move forward, and Michigan will provide more opportunities for me to pursue my passion!

I heard that your passion was ice cream. What's the best way to pursue ice cream? On foot? By car?
"No offense," but that was a low blow!

I will volunteer to retire and you can take my place in the passionate field of education!
The Michigan Education Association will GLADLY accept you into the fraternity (along with your $1,000 in yearly dues) AND because you are a talented, wonderful, passionate, experienced teacher and follower of Jesus Christ any school district will JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO HIRE YOU...
