Thank you AdamK. I really appreciate your feedback.
I plan on being completely honest during the application process. I know a background check is inevitable, and rightfully so.
I have been volunteering for a while now at several NGOs and non-profits. I have excellent LORs, and over 3 years of teaching under my belt, as both Substitute Teaching and Instructional Aid positions. In both cases, I blew a .09. I wish I can take it back, but what is done is done.
Do you think it would be easier as time passes? I'm thinking that by the time I get my credential/masters, it won't be judged as harshly. I just finished my masters in a non-related degree, but I'm thinking about getting my masters in education as well.
Also, are you aware of any teachers with DUIs? I know there are many teachers with DUIs, but not sure if there are a lot of them with more than one.
Thanks again for your input, AND most of all, thank you for not dishing out your judgment on me - it is greatly appreciated. Best wishes.
