YAYYYYYYYY!!! Tonight Darling and I were watching a movie with the kiddies and I got a phone call. It was 9:45pm and since we don't normally get calls that late I was tempted to just let the answering machine pick it up. Well, Darling decided to answer it and I am sure glad he did! It was one of the committee members for the scholarship I applied for and she wanted to ask me some interview questions! I spent just over 20 minutes on the phone with her and I think I answered all her questions fairly good and to the point. I didn't mislead anything and I was forthright with the hard questions. I even got her laughing and chit-chatting with me for awhile about the state of education in the public high schools in Michigan (she is a retired school teacher). She asked me questions like "What is going to be the most difficult part of the next school year for you?" and about my career goals and ambitions. I told her at one point in the telephone interview that I didn't really believe in dreams because dreams are something that when you lay your head down at night they appear out of nowhere and don't require anything of you personally, instead I believe in goals because a goal is something you must work for and people don't work for the things they don't want. She also asked me if I had a problem with speaking to a group about the scholarship and being a sorta spokesperson for the scholarship program. I couldn't help myself and I started laughing. I told her that public speaking was defintely NOT a problem for me and, as a matter of fact, sometimes people have to tell me to shut up. I don't have a problem with being a sorta poster-child for the scholarship program because it is run by a group of professionals who are mostly women and they aren't endorsing some company or anything.

Anyhow, it sounds like I am in the running for the scholarship. Very nice, very nice indeed! Woohooooooo!!! And, a big fantabulous thank you to all who have prayed and thought about me and this scholarship. Apparently the well-wishing has worked thus far!
