  2. Hi, Given a choice to think about anything, I think it's best to train our minds to think about being successful and not start with thoughts about failure. Unless, you really want to go there, you will. In my book, you already failed. Sorry.

  8. Ms Maria, I'm sorry but I think he/she is just asking about the possibility if you have any idea, just like how a mathematician thinks about probability. He/she may have other options to consider.

  70. Good day, Ms. Gemma. I know the hiring season is not on peak anymore, but may I ask questions for clarification?

    1. Must I first be able to get a job offer from a US school district before I could apply to your agency for paid assistance, or could I just directly send my resume and application to Teach-USA, and you would be facilitating the application to US school districts?
    2. Also, I am single; would my civil status hinder my VISA approval if I chose to apply as a H1B applicant without ties here in the Philippines? I ask because I have read several comments in the groups I follow that a single civil status could be an issue.
    3. How will I be able to reach a customer service representative in your agency, to ask for clarity so I can decide best? Since you mentioned that once an applicant starts their services with your agency, then they will not be able to cancel or they will still be paying a cancellation fee.

    I hope to receive responses to these questions. I have been following your social media pages and if I were to choose an agency to work with me, it would be Teach-USA because I can feel the care. Moreover, I am thankful for the articles you post on your website.
