First Step Forward
“Excuse me. Are you open?” I asked softly as I poked my head in the door.
“Oh yes, how can I help you?” a middle-aged woman replied politely.
“Umm…this place just recently opened, right? I saw the sign outside that you’re looking for art teachers…” I said hesitantly.
“That’s right. We’re a new art school for kids that just opened in this area. We have other branches, but this is our newest branch,” the kind-looking lady replied.
“Are you still looking for art teachers?” I asked, not daring to get my hopes up.
“Of course. Are you interested?” she asked.
“Yes, I am. You see, I’m an art student in my final year and I’m looking for a parttime job,” I replied.
“Do you have any teaching experience or experience working with kids?” she inquired.
“Umm…not really. I’ve taught some of my juniors before but that’s about it,” I replied honestly.
