First experience as an Education Specialist

oh happy day. This morning my cousin called and told me that she and her best friend decided that they were going to go into business selling on eBay and could I teach them a couple of things. And the bonus is that she didn't know that I had just passed by class and become an Education Specialist, she was just asking because I am her cousin and an eBayer. I told her how I would LOVE to teach them eBay and told them how I am an ES. They drove down (they live about 2.5 hours away) and spent the afternoon being the most engaged students you could have. They had already done their homework so some of the lessons were very easy. The nice thing is that it just worked out so well for me. Sometimes in life things just fall into place. I needed a little experience and practice in teaching the course before going at it full time and they needed to learn. Perfect. I had considering putting an ad up on craigslist to find a volunteer that I could teach the course to for free just so I could get the practice. How perfect is it that I have a family member wanting to learn?
I am so excited and motivated right now. Looking forward to teaching more. I really think I've found my calling.
