Dear aprilmatt,

Thank you for applying to Teach For America’s 2015 corps! We truly appreciate the time and effort you have invested in our application process and the commitment you’ve displayed toward educational equity. Log on now to the Applicant Center to view your application status.

I’ll fill the survey out when I get home for real but I got my first perf location of Boston (special circumstance) and I’ll be teaching secondary science which was actually my least preferred as all high school was haha bc I know nothing about science (Psychology major over here…) but I’m excited just the same! So excited!!! Congrats all!

i mean that does bother me a bit, @MissHopeless‌. my interviewer told me 1000 teaching positions went unfilled in mississippi last year. that was my number two. so it wasn’t an issue of placement with me. there must have just been something they didn’t like about me, which is fine. it’s not a fit for everyone, and i’m excited about the opportunities that i have. but it does seem a bit weird.

Anyone at institute in Phoenix? @aprilmatt1113 and @nickymomma, are yall bringing your families to institute?
