the results are in

the results are in....and i did predict the outcome. i passed the first two sections, with 100% on each. and the third section which was the math one, i didn't pass. but, the bright side is that i only missed 7 more than i needed to pass. if i hadn't learned math and practiced for three straight days i would have missed them all, except for guessing. when i went in to take the test, i started to talk to a woman, she was there taking the math portion only(if you pass a section, you don't have to re-take it) she said it was really hard. out of the 11 people there to take the test 8 of them were there to re-take the math. one lady was on her 10th try, one on her 6th try, and all the others, except the first lady i talked to were on their 3rd or 4th try. so, i didn't feel so horrible that i didn't pass, instead i was pretty encouraged that i did as well as i did. and i wouldn't have been able to work with shannon, the neighbor is doing it. so, this actually works out well, if i take the test again in september and pass, by that time, the neighbor may have given up and then once again i will have the chance to work with shannon. but, if not, i can still sub for other classes and maybe by the next year get placed in a permanent place. besides, i think i could use a break right now and time to get some things done around the house. the kids started school yesterday, and they love it. my son is shocking me! he is usually so shy and not at all self-motivated, but today he came home and told me he is running for student council. i was speechless, but i feel proud of him. i hope that this is a good learning experience for him. the girls are enjoying being with their friends again and tynin is in heaven because she loves school. so, things aren't so bad, even though i would have liked to pass the test, it was so much more involved than i had thought, even with the study guide. but now i know and will study accordingly. until next time.....................
