I tried to take one such step today in applying for that social studies/language arts/Spanish job. Sure, I don't know Spanish, but I'm dynamic at social studies and language arts. Even if I don't get this job, I at least made some sort of move.
Certainly, waiting is a part of life. Still, I can put myself to better use in the intervening time than I have. We will see how long this current feeling of determination can get me.
