sacramento apartments
Now that I have finished my education, I am ready
to make that
next step. I graduated with a degree in
secondary education because I
wanted to help people,
and now I find myself having to think of only
myself
for a little while. In this country right now
teachers
are in high demand, so I basically had a pick
of most places in the
country. Now I always wanted to
teach in high poverty areas,
but since graduating
college, I have come to realize a strange and
ironic
truth; I am now living in poverty because I own eighty
thousand
dollars. So I decided that my first job,
until I had enough
money to afford teaching in poverty
areas, would be in a place that I
always wanted to
live. California was my first choice and I knew that
Sacramento
was my favorite city in the whole state.
The sensibility seems to
just appeal to me because in
Sacramento it's like got the California
sensibility,
but it's also has a bit more reality than L.A.
The
next thing I knew, I was looking for downtown
Sacramento
apartments.
I began my job search by talking to the
schools in
Sacramento to find out what schools had need for new
teachers.
There were several schools that had an
opening and I applied to
each one. I did have one
favorite in mind which was a small
private free school
that was known for having somewhat of a radical
staff
of teachers. All of them were known and actually
encouraged
to be social and educational activists.
This was the most exciting of
all of the schools
listed in the districts. When I got the call back
from
two others schools I was very excited to have
gotten offers, but I
was a bit disappointed that that
school had not jumped at my resume
which included four
years of college activism and a mug shot from a
sit-in.
Without accepting any, I told them I would
make a decision in
two weeks. Then I began to look for
apartments
in Sacramento. It only took me about two
days of
having landed and toured about ten Sacramento
apartments,
that I had a place to live. Now I was
finally ready to sit down and
make my decision of
which school I would choose.
