Chapter 1 – Looking for a job...

I'm Angel, and I just moved to town. I start by introducing myself to the school principal. I teach arts, and I've seen the Lord need a teacher in this area, so I decided to step forward to see if I meet the school's requirements. I conclude my presentation by making it clear what I came to do in your room, towards the end of the school holidays.

- From your resume, despite your young age, you already have enough experience, and speak with confidence too. Appoints the director.

- I started working early, giving internships while I was still studying, and I was always very communicative, I participated in many plays while in the school theater group, and also in college. I explain.

- So you're an artist? Interesting! I know it's still too early, but at the end of the year we have the Spring Festival and high school seniors always present a fundraiser for the city's home. Sir... he interrupts the sentence in the middle and I get the hint:

- Ms. He smiles and concludes:

- That, miss, would you feel comfortable working in this type of activity?

- Of course sir. I've always liked acting, and directing will definitely be very interesting.

- But we'll have to make the scenery, costumes and everything else... You'll have a lot of extra work, and maybe you won't be able to have much time for leisure during this period. He tests me.

- Don't worry Lord, with time you will realize that I like teaching a lot and that this ends up becoming my leisure too.

- Don't say I didn't warn you... He tells me between a sarcastic smile. Let's do an experiment and if you meet the standards of the school we will hire you. He ends by extending his hand towards me, I shake his hand and nod, he then asks me to go to the secretariat and get the times of the meetings that will take place in the coming days and the documents I need to bring to enter the papers of the my work. I do exactly as he says and walk home happy and light as an angel.

Coming home I think I really need this job, since I moved to this city my money was almost gone, I managed to rent an apartment with my reservations and buy some essentials besides groceries, however, if I didn't start work , would soon be in trouble.

Relieved by my first conquest in this city, I go to the window. It's summer and people walk peacefully along the street. A lot of people are on vacation due to the end of year festivities so I'm starting to think about which play I should stage with the students at the Spring Festival, is there already a specific play? That I don't know, I believe I'll find out when I participate in the teachers' meetings that will take place soon, but I'm sure of one thing... I'll be responsible for this piece, because I'm going to be hired by the school, I need...

After a week of meetings, planning and studying to get everything organized for the beginning of classes, the pedagogical coordinator calls me to talk in her room...

- Good morning teacher Angel, how are you? Please come in... She greets me with a smile on her face, and with a wave of her hand shows me the armchair in front of her desk, I sit down and she crosses her desk and sits across from me.

- What do you think of the school teacher? She asks me, feigning interest...

- I'm looking forward to starting classes, I've enjoyed everything I've learned here, but I can't wait to meet the students and teach... I answer sincerely.

- What a great teacher, I hope you will continue with all this animation when you start teaching, especially when they start work for the Spring Festival. And then I finally understand where she is going with this conversation.

- Yes of course. The director had already told me about the Festival the day we spoke. I explain to her.

- I imagine, she says as she smiles at me, coffee, water or tea teacher? She offers me...

- Coffee please! She pours me a cup in silence, then continues her explanation:

- The Spring Festival is the apple of the director's eye, that's because the whole city appreciates the event, and we always raise a lot of money for the asylum, therefore, he will always be around reminding you that everything must be perfect, I fear the pressure be a little too much for you who are still so young. She says in an ironic tone.

- Don't worry Ma'am, I reply very happy to know that she is many years older than me, I'm laughing inside it's serious, but my face remains serious as it should be, I have experience in the acting field, I've staged and acted in several plays, it won't be a problem for me to organize a play that is as good as the previous ones. To put it mildly, I think, but I don't say it out loud so she won't think I'm too proud, which I truly am.

- We will see then, teacher, I'm trusting you. The words she uses don't quite match the tone and look she's using as she directs them to me. We need to choose soon which will be the piece to start organizing.

- That's exactly what I'd like to know Madam. I remind myself again that she must be irritated that I'm younger than her, this is so much fun! How is the part selection done? Is it chosen by the principal, staff or students?

- In fact, we do it that way... We teachers, parents and students give our suggestions at the end of the previous year, and the following year we do a vote among students and teachers and the most voted play is staged... She explains to me.

- Okay, so you already have these three options so I can know where I'm getting myself? I ask laughing so she's amused, but she doesn't seem to have any sense of humor.
