Hello, my name is Maria Hanes and I live in Kilgore, TX. I am a 38 year old Hispanic (Mexican) mother of three children. I am a Bilingual Teachers’ Aide at Sabine Middle School in Gladewater, TX. I was a substitute teacher for Sabine ISD (Elementary, Middle School, & High School) for almost a year before the full-time bilingual teachers aide position was offered to me. Sabine ISD is aware that I am in the process of obtaining my teachers certification for a Generalists EC-6 through ITeachTexas.com. I just have to take & pass the test; then I have to either complete 6-weeks student teaching or have 1 year in a teaching position by June 2012. I’m praying that once I pass the test & complete the program; Sabine ISD will have a teaching position available for me. Unfortunately; the last couple of years have been very difficult for me (financially & with my marriage). I am currently going through a divorce. The only way I would be able to complete my program will be to enroll in a 6-week student teaching program in the next few months. And of course that means I have to pay for the 6-week student teaching and not get paid during that time. As I mentioned, I am going through a divorce & will be supporting 3 kids (19 yr old–in college, 18 yr old–high school senior, & 9 yr old). So the Big Problem is that there is no way I will be able to afford the 6-week student teaching program & lose my teachers’ aide salary (which is not much at all) for 6 weeks. I would really appreciate any help to be able to pay for my test and the 6-week student teaching program; so that I may accomplish my dream of becoming a Bilingual Teacher in the state of Texas.
I know that this is my calling! I’m sure you may hear that all the time but I can assure you that I want this with all my heart. I love working with kids and knowing that I am helping them in their education. And believe me I gave up and lost a lot in order for me to accomplish my dream. I had a great paying job & position, but that did not matter to me. I felt like once I left the business field I was never good enough for my husband, which I’m sure my current personal situation tells you something. But my children & family believe in me and know I want this with all my heart. And as long as my kids support me and my faith in myself…I know I will be the Best Teacher I can Be to every student that crosses my path.
I’m sure you didn’t expect a book in the comment section; but I don’t know how else to say it without my desire for my teaching career to show. So please any help to pay for my tests, my 6-week student teaching program, and my unpaid school loans will be Greatly Appreciated. I pray that I will be able to teach the fall of 2012. Thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely, Maria Hanes (Kilgore, TX)
