IF YOU LOOK AT MY STATUS...THE RETURN OF MR. WULFF BEGINS 2009-2010...

This is because it is official, Mr. Wulff is back! 

He has passed his PRAXIS II test and is now a teacher again.  It has been a long struggle.  Full of bumpy roads and disappointments.  Here is the journey ffrom falling from grace to climbing the mountain top once more...

I was a teacher from 2002-2007.  I was in contact with the Ohio Department of Education for my last year and a half about my new license and there was a miscommunication between us and I was not able to renew my license.  I had to resign from my teaching position and be out of work from August 2007 to October 2007.

I began work, temporarily, at the Head and Neck Institute at the Cleveland Clinic as a Medical Secretary.  Granted, it was not the best thing but it's a job and I needed something.  Now, in the same month I took the teaching test so I can renew my license and failed by 1 point.  1 point!!! 

Fastforward three tests later and still a failed score was haunting me.  9, 11 and 13 respectively.  I was going to take it for a 5th time.  1 point again!!! But the thing was, it was the wrong test.  They had updated the requirements and i was taking the wrong test in Ohio.  So this, to me, was a new opportunity.  New test, new questions, fresh start.  3/14/09 was the test date for my new venture...

I took the test and smiled at question #2.  I was so confident that this was it that when I closed my test booklet I had 10 minutes to go.  I went back and changed a few things because that back of my mind feeling came up when there was a string of 10 answers that didn't have 'A.'  You're told not to think of a pattern but I had to...

Well I told everyone that "there was no way I failed this one."  I never am this overly confident.  I was hesitent to go online and start applying for jobs because it was what I did the last time.  I didn't want to jinx anything...Well one mpnth later I went online and checked...

I PASSED!!!

Now begins applying to be a special education teacher again.

I am sooooo flying high today!
