[quote=Anonymous]My weirdest - a couple of years ago, just after I turned 40,  I was considering a second career in teaching.  At that time (no idea if it's done now), EL Haynes had some sort of fellowship for teaching.  I applied via online application and had a screening interview with someone.  I was clear this was a track I was considering, but I wasn't sure it was something I wanted to pursue.  She invite dmd to come for the in person interview, but I had little idea of what to expect.

Well, it was an evening at Haynes, and the place was packed - mostly with fresh faced soon to graduate college students, many from prestigious universities, who were clutching their resumes and eager to become teachers and SO INTERESTED in the fellowship.  There were a ton of us, and we were divided into groups and had to do a bunch of different activities - observe a lesson online and comment on it, devise some sort of project, interview in a group setting, interview one on one with at least 2 people, etc etc.  I was still very much in "I'm exploring this as an option" and as compared to kids who were EAGER and ready and willing to JUMP IN and DO IMPORTANT THINGS and CHANGE THE LIFE OF A CHILD - well, let's just say I stuck out.  And didn't get a call back.  [/quote]
