Found out Wednesday afternoon that I was accepted to the ETA program in Germany. Dang, I had written off the opportunity for my own sanity as graduation approaches and it is honestly surreal. Helps little that I am currently at a national competition for speech and debate but what are you going to do? Congrats to everyone who has been accepted and well done to all who have applied. I'm stoked and kinda scared as to what this will all look like but that is to be expected. I'll have to keep an eye on the thread for more Germany people when I can actually get to my computer!
It is hard to have the balance between being excited at being recommended and wanting to be realistic especially when looking at applying to other positions post-graduation, my brain goes from really chill about the prospects to being freaked out, never mind that there's more waiting until March now, ugh.
Hello everyone, I just joined as I found out yesterday that I was approved for the ETA Fulbright in Germany and I wanted to find a community of people who can speak into and or understand the fears and elements of the process. I am excited to see what happens from here but now that a large portion of that will entail more waiting, which will be hard as I am applying to other positions that would set me up to teach English in other countries. Graduating in August though walking in May at my university.
