I was lucky enough to be hired for one class at LA Mission. However, a few weeks later they asked if I had room in my schedule to take another class. I, of course, accepted.
Then, Santa Monica College called and I was shocked. They are an amazing school with such a high level of transfer students and thought it would take me years to even get an interview at a school like this. I was offered two classes :)
Then, Compton College, where I've been tutoring for the past year, came around and asked if I could take on a class. I accepted and now have five classes for the Fall.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm crazy and I'm already ready to pull my hair out (because I'm also still working a few days a week at my restaurant job), but I am so excited and happy for the opportunity.
When I put this down on my 30 before 30 list, I knew it was a long-shot. I thought, hey, maybe if I put it on my list it'll happen, or it'll be funny like, oh yeah, never going to have that 'real job.' But, here we are, and I've got five classes and going strong. I'm not sure how many will be offered to me in the Spring, but at least I now have some experience under my belt and will have a lot to add to my resume for the future!
