i submitted my application for the new york city teaching fellows last sunday. i want this more than anything, but i have a looming feeling that i won't even be invited for an interview. i honestly don't regret messing around in school so much when i was younger because if anything, it has helped me clarify my goals and accomplish so much while having two young children. but i'm sure no admissions committee will see it this way.
if i don't get in i have two choices. i can go the traditional route through grad school and wait an extra year until i can teach, but this will put a huge strain on our finances and i don't think we can swing it. or i might teach myself multivariate statistics and take the first actuarial exam in may. this way i'll have a good chance of finding a decent paying job. but i'm not entirely sure this is what i want. i'll end up seeing my kids for only an hour every day and i'm not ready for that.
in any event, i don't want to jump the gun here and hopefully i'll find out by next monday whether or not i got the interview.
