<p>Hey guys! Thought I'd start a thread so that all of us Teach for America folks who will be at the Houston Institute this summer can get to know one another!</p>
<p>What a great idea! I’m a 4DL acceptance for San Antonio and was SO excited to see so many Texas acceptances in the forum when I checked today! I guess it just goes to show how our collective corps will be the best. :)</p>
<p>Are you from Texas? I’ll be relocating from New England and am pretty excited for the transition!</p>
<p>Hey guys (: I’ll be coming from Los Angeles. I have to be honest–I got accepted as a Houston CM, and it really surprised me. Even though Houston was on my pref list, I never thought that’s where I’d end up… BUT I’m quickly warming up to the idea!</p>
<p>I’m going to Rio Grande valley.</p>
<p>Hey guys! Well first of all, my name is Tori. I’ll be teaching HS science in San Antonio (very excited!)</p>
<p>I’m moving from the Research Triangle region of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, specifically), which I will miss dearly, but I’m ready for this new adventure!</p>
<p>Hello everyone! I will be teaching middle school in Houston. I’ll be moving from Illinois. Houston was also on my pref list but I’m pretty sure we will do fine in Texas.</p>
<p>Hey guys, did you receive any information about a Facebook group for your particular region? One of my friends, who’s NYC 2012, says that his region has a very helpful group, but I can’t find any information about a Houston one.</p>
<p>oh nice! i love it!!! whats up everyone. I was placed in San Antonio but now I feel like Houston would be a better fit lol.</p>
<p>for those of you accepted to the Houston corps do you know what the starting salary is? for SA it is a flat 43,000 as stated in the SA guide.</p>
<p>@rustyhalos: I was curious and searched for “Teach for America Corps 2012” on FB. I found a group almost for any institute. All the groups are closed groups, I asked to join the group… See you over there!</p>
<p>@carlinchi thanks! See you on FB (:</p>
