When I got home from teaching, I noticed no one was home yet. So I walked to my mailbox, opened it, flipped through the mail inside and found one envelope addressed to me with my full name in bold letters. I looked at the return address and felt every nerve in my body tingling. As quickly as I could, I stumbled into my house with the million things I was carrying, closed the garage, dropped everything, rushed inside and ripped open the letter. I read the first sentence twice.
"I am very pleased to inform you that the Department of Education of the UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies (GSE&IS) has recommended your admission to the Graduate Division for study leading to a preliminary teaching credential and Master of Education degree."
I spent the next 5 minutes running around my house screaming. Thankfully no one could see or hear me...
I will never forget today. EVER.
My hopes of pursuing a teaching career is being put into full-swing action by my TOP CHOICE SCHOOL. Today UCLA's teacher education program accepted me as a masters student. YEAAAA-YUHH. changing the world vicky! woot woooooot!!!
