I am overwhelmed by God's unceasing power in my life.  I no longer have an ineffective teaching evaluation, but it was changed to an effective teaching evaluation.  It has gave me a shot of hope that is running rampant through my veins to be the best teacher I can be. I am excited that I can finally teach again.  God has taken away the cloud of doom from my lack of experience that pours down over me when I job search.
