New Job

I work as a janitor at a school. While cleaning a classroom one day, I overhear a teacher and the principal talking about the need for a new teacher assistant. It just so happened that this was the kind of job that I wanted because it was the special education classroom and I want to be a teacher in that field.
I told the teacher that I am a qualified para-educator and asked how to apply. She told me to watch for it on the district website. I did. No posting of the job appeared. After 2 days I went back to ask when the posting would appear and when interviews would start. She sent me to the principal.
So I told the principal of my interest for the job. She told me that it hasn't been posted yet but to send all my info to HR and she would look into it. So I went home to get all my info and application stuff together so I would make a good impression come interview time.
Today at work I get called to the office. It hasn't even been 2 days since my conversation with the principal and the posting still hasn't appeared on the website. So I assume it is a teacher wanting to put in an Avon order. Imagine my surprise when I, in my grubby work cloths, am met by the principal telling me that she wants to do a quick interview.
"Sure, why not." The teacher comes in and the questions begin. I try to answer as best I can with my nerves trying to go through the ceiling! It all happened so fast! The next thing I know they are telling me when to be there for my first day. They end quickly so that I can finish my work and go home.
I finish my work in a sort of daze. I have a new job! I want to shout with my excitement. This goes to show that putting yourself out there and known really does work. I just didn't think it would work the way it did.
