When will it be my turn?

Nine and a half years.  That's how long is been since I received my Bachelor of Science in Education.  I have had my Ontario College of Teacher's certification for the past 9 years and my French as a Second Language Parts I and II for the past three years or so. I have had approximately 8 Long Term Occasional contracts between the Upper Canada School Board and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, not to mention years and years of daily supply teaching.  All of this, and I STILL don't have a permanent teaching position.  I don't really mean to complain, but when I constantly encounter teachers who are much younger than I am and who have only had their Bachelor of Education for a couple of years but who have successfully been placed in a permanent position within one of the schools in the Board I just can't help but be pissed off!!!  I mean, come on!  I have YEARS of experience; I have attended just about every workshop that the Board offers; I have completed every possible step of the New Teacher Induction Program that I am able to complete without having a permanent position; I have successfully completed 2 of the 3 part of the FSL specialist qualification; I have written report cards at every level from Kindergarten to grade 7; I have taught every grade from Kindergarten to grade 8 in both English and French; 

Somehow, I still don't have a permanent job.

This week saw me drive to Alexandria to Cornwall to Rockland for interviews for 6 different LTO positions that I had applied to not to mention that I applied to another 4 postings this week.   I have been interviewed so many times over the past 4 years that I almost don't need the interviewers to ask the questions.  

Oh well, I guess it truly is in God's hands now.  I have done my best with the interviews and now I just have to wait for the decisions.  Even after all of these years I truly do believe that the good Lord put me on this planet to be a teacher and I WILL NOT give up until I have reached my intended destination!

I guess ultimately, I simply want to know when it will be my turn to begin my life and get on with my career and family as intended.
