Week 6 Blog

I have experienced opression when I applied for my first teaching job. I had went to the interview and I thought the interview had went fairly well. The director had told me  that she would be in touch with me in about a week. A week had passed and she still had not called, I was ok with possibly not getting the job because I was fresh out of college and didn't have much experience. The assistant director called me and informed me that I wasn't hired because reading my resume the director thought I was white and when she discovered I was black she decided not to hire me. It hurt my feelings but it also gave me courage to continue my journey. I looked at it as a loss for her and her company because I have very good qualities. I think that people like that have an issue with themselves and is unfortunate.
