School Counseling Praxis - Passed!

I took and passed the school counseling praxis!!! I have a Masters degree in General Guidance & Counseling. However, some states require a specific "School Counseling" degree. In Mississippi, if you have your Masters in an accredited school counseling program, and you take and pass the School Counseling Praxis, then you are eligible for certification to be a counselor in the schools.

So, my job at the hospital has been crazy wild the past few months... and a girl has to keep her options open, right? Well, I told Ben for $130, just for kicks and giggles, I want to take the test. If I pass, great! If I don't well... it was just a hundred and thirty bucks! Not that money is easy to come by here...

Plus, if we were to relocate and I had my certification in Mississippi, I was hoping that the certification might be reciprocal in other states. If not, the minimum, it would look good on my resume'.

So, I've received my scores and passed with higher than expected scores. I should be able to work in most any states that accept the Praxis test as part of their criteria for certification. Right now, I just have to get my transcripts together and fill out the application and submit.

Any other school counselors out there? Those jobs are really hard to come by around here. People usually retire in those positions...

God is good and He is our provider whatever job we may have. We didn't know how we would make it when Ben lost the income of the church, but surprisingly, we have made it. My prayer is that when it is said and done, in the end, God will elevate us and bring us on top again... it has been a difficult place to be in both in the physical and spiritual sense...
