So I just learned today that I have been offered a position as a English Teaching Assistant in Austria! I have been assigned to a few schools in a village called Bischofshofen, which is about an hour outside of Salzburg. I plan on living in Salzburg, as the commute to this village looks doable.
I hadn’t expected to hear anything until late April, so when I opened my email at work and saw that email and opened it and saw the good news, I was overcome with emotion. This is the third time I’ve applied for this assistantship. The first time was in 2009, and I was rejected right away. Last year, I was an alternate, but was unfortunately not offered a position. Seeing the news today, I started tearing up right away. Maybe an extreme emotion, but it’s been a long journey for me to get this.
Now there is so much to do and I feel so overwhelmed! Right now, I’m just trying to bask in the glory of it.
That's great that you never gave up! Get ready to have one of the best jobs of your life :D
