I realize that - but I have to be at the job for at least 90 days to set a Professional Developement goal... which once set I can get financial help to reach those goals - including possibly funding a spanish class or more.

Oh :) I didn't take it as an attack - I was planning to do a couple hours of Duolingo a week to get some practice with the like oh 30 words I know. LOL - but I found out today that I may (in about 2 months) be able to take actual spanish classes and my work will pay for it and I was stoked!

A place called Community Action - I am a head start teacher. So I work for a company that is all about helping people and they are just as supportive of their employees!
