A while ago I asked for some prayers as I was applying for an internship to teach English as a foreign language in Poland. I orginally applied to go in February but was unsuccessful, however the school offering the internship in Poland offered me a place for the August intake. I accepted. A few weeks ago I received an email asking if I was still interested in my place. I confirmed and thought that was that. On Monday I received a further email telling me that during my interview I came across as a weak candidate (way back in January, when I was still in the very early stages of my TEFL course - which the school knew). I was then told that there has been stronger applicants. I am now waiting on a response as to why I was offered a position twice if I hadn’t convinced them I was up to at I haven’t conviced them that I am the right candidate for the job and also waiting on if I actually have the job or not. To tell you the truth I don’t really want to go anymore if I am being messed around so much before I have even arrived!
As it is July and I was due to go in the middle of August everyone I know thinks I am going. I know I shouldn’t but I feel very nervous about potentially telling them that I will not be going, especially my family as I know they will be worried/upset for me (worried about what I’ll do now).

I have been unemployed all year and have been trying to find a job but as I’m sure you will all know its very hard at the moment. I kept my spirits up by telling myself I would be away working soon, but this may no longer be the case.
I am now looking into other opportunities I could do if it turns out I am no longer going to Poland, including starting an apprenticeship to be a teaching assistant. The closing date is tomorrow so I have been working on my application form, but as I am 24 and have a degree I am a bit skeptical that they will accept me as they usually want 16-18 year olds. I have also been looking into courses to do but they all seem to be expensive.
I graduated from uni last July and still have a large student overdraft to pay off (not to mention my student loan) so am starting to get worried about money. I am living with my parents and have been for almost a year so I don’t have to worry about rent etc, however I know my parents can’t really afford to support me anymore.
I applied for the internship in December through the company who I was doing my TEFL course with. It cost me nearly £800 and was told by the company if the school didn’t accept me then I would get my money back. I am now worried that I won’t get my money back as it has been so long. £800 is a lot of money to all I am sure, but to someone in my situation it is worth even more.
I have lost all sense of inependance through living at home as I was so used to living with friends/on my own. I feel like it will take years for me to be able to move out again as living costs seem to keep going up while wages stay the same (really theyre going down due to inflation). I know I am one of the lucky ones as like I say I live at home, but its hard not to be worried and disapointed by my situation.

My dad went to Walsingham just under two weeks ago and met a Polish nun while he was there. He told her about my internship and she said she’d pray for me. This is making me think that maybe going to Poland isn’t part of God’s plan for me as soon after I got that email.
Please pray for me that I will be accepted to something soon (hopefully the teaching assistant apprenticeship as I do want to get into teaching somehow) and that I will get my money back from the internship if it turns out I am no longer going.
Thank you everyone.
God bless you all.
 
Don’t worry my friend put everything into God’s hand, your intentions are added to my list! And remember poland is where St.Fuastina lived, you might want to pray to her so that you can receive Mercy from God and be able to do everything you need to. God bless!

Thank you all. I’m trying to be as positive as I can. The worst part though will be if I am rejected having to tell my friends and family. They will all be so disapointed for me. I’m also looking into voluntary work to try and build up my experience but even that takes a while to hear back from.
I just pray the Lord’s path for me is found sometime soon, or at least in the meantime I can find some kind of income so I can start repaying my debt and actually move forward in my life.
I know things could be worse and that things will improve soon if I put my faith in the Lord.
Thank you all again for your prayers, they really do mean a lot to me.
God bless you all. x
 
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight”

I pray that God’s plan for you will bring wonderful things. It might not be in Poland, but I am sure something great will come your way - even if you cannot understand right now.

Thank you.

I have just sent off the application form for the teaching assistant apprenticeship. I got an email saying I will hear back within 5 working days. Please pray it’s a positive outcome.

God bless.
 
Well I have some updates.
I got a reply back about the internship in Poland, the recruitment woman apologised and claimed she wasn’t aware that I was at the start of my TEFL course at the time of the interview (she was, as we spoke about it then, but nevermind). She attached a copy of the contract for me to print out, fill in, scan and email back to her. I really should send it back by the end of the day.
However this morning I was contacted by the teaching assistant apprenticeship provider and asked to attend a registration session on Wednesday to meet the staff etc and make sure the apprenticeship is right for me.

If I’m totally honest I would prefer to do the teaching assistant apprenticeship as I eventually want to do a PGCE to teach in the UK. I would enjoy teaching English in Poland, but as I have been messed around a bit by the recruitment people I feel a bit put off by it. However I haven’t been offered a position on the apprenticeship yet so don’t want to end up with nothing.

Please pray for me to make the right choice and that the Lord helps to guide me to my decision.

Thank you all.
God bless.
 
Thank you.
Please could you remember me in your prayers tonight/tomorrow as I go to the information session for the apprenticeships tomorrow afternoon. I’d really like to be accepted onto one, so please pray for it to go well.

Thank you all.
God bless! x
