Journey as an instructor for aesthetics.

A few weeks ago I attended a function for the graduating class from my esthetics school.  I was on cloud nine while talking to one of the representatives of the colleges partner company.  She told me that she would help me get in contact with someone to get started in the esthetic instructor program.  I came home and immediately emailed her my information.  A day later I was told that the program did not exist for esthetics only for cosmetology.  I was deflated but began looking outside the school.  I emailed my professor that I studied under to see where she trained.  I did not hear anything for several days but continued to search schools in the area to see what I needed to do to get accepted.  The private schools were much more expensive. As a student and business owner, I could not afford the expense.  My professor sent me a message on Facebook a few days ago asking why I did not train under her and the other cosmetology instructors.  I instantly became hopeful again.  She told me that time was of the essence and that I needed to fill out the application immediately.  Of course I did so without hesitation that moment.  I sent her a message that I had completed the application and essay.  I waited.  Praying that this would allow me to start the program this upcoming semester.  I did not want to attach to much to the situation.  I kept telling myself and others to pray for me.  Monday while at work I was having a bad day and stepped out of the clinic to get a quick bite.  I noticed a missed call from an unknown number.  I checked my voice mail, it was my instructor asking me to call her immediately that she had received my application.  I called and was told that she would interview me as soon as possible.  I set up a time with her for eleven a.m. the following day.  I really could not sleep from the anticipation.  I thought that this step in my life was at least a few years away.  I dressed carefully knowing that this was a critical part in the process.  I got to the campus and immediately began answering a series of questions.  I received a perfect score.  I did not realize for a few minutes that I was in and things were changing for me. I met with the adviser and was added to the list of a select few individuals. I was shocked and still am.  I have been giddy all day.  I went to work and told them and was met with less friction than I planned.  It might have been my way of asking. I do have to work more one day a week but in the end I know that giving up on free time will ensure that I can complete this program soon.  Classes begin August 25 I cannot wait to begin. Feeling blessed!!!
