Before leaving my college town and moving to CA, I arranged to have my mail forwarded and held in Concord, CA while traveling cross country. I was smart enough to send out lots of resumes to surrounding Bay Area school districts before moving west.
The trouble was, that I spent 30 days crossing the USA visiting all the national parks I could and camping along the way.
When I got to the post office in Concord and asked for my forwarded mail, they said there was a large batch of mail that had to be disposed of, since it was held for 30 days. I was saddened by the news and knew that this would lessen my chances of getting a teaching job that year since it was already August. Luckily the post office man said, let me check again. He came out with a handful of about 6 letters and all of them were from districts. Whew! That was a relief.
One of those letters was from PUSD, a district that had actually called my father on the east coast looking to interview me. I immediately called them that Friday and by Tuesday I was offered a contract during my interview. Thanks to Sal Cardinale, I had secured my place in PUSD district. This was another complete blessing in my life. I have so much to be thankful for!
