Hi to all of you valiant Teal Warriors! I wanted to share some good news that has nothing to do with cancer. Yesterday, I completed the second major component of the requirements for trying for National Board Certification for Teachers. I am DONE! I started this process last September, when i was still going through chemo for my first recurrence, and I didn't finish chemo until the end of December, so that made it really tough for the fall semester. I hung in there, however, and now it is worth it! It is a very intense and complicated process, but the process alone makes you a better teacher. Oh, and I won't get my scores until November. Sorry I have not responded to many posts lately, but I have been reading them as often as I could. God bless all of you and He is with you always! Carol

I always knew that us survivors could do anything, and you have proven that. I wish you all the best when your career becomes official. You will be some teacher!!! All my best to you, and big hugs, Cindy

    WONDERFUL!
    That's super news, Carol! I always wanted to be a teacher. I ended up home schooling my oldest for a few years. We need good teachers. Glad to know you are on board!

    God has surely given you a blessing, and you will be a blessing! Stay strong!

    Carol,
    That is fantastic news. Good for you! I did some substitute teaching about 8 years ago and loved it. Now I am at the college and just love being with the kids. Good Luck and God Bless.
