Thank you. I have confirmed a job for 2024, and I was also offered a scholarship. So I’m beginning my career with the caveat of knowing post graduate study is a reasonable option to consider. By the end of January I will be working full time as a classroom teacher. Big change from me considering I was expelled from school as a kid, in trouble with the law and addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Congratulation, that sounds amazing!
Your school “career” made me giggle, I remember how happy my schoolstaff was when I finally graduated and left for university 
You will be a great teacher!
