My Story

Prior to spring break, Hope student teachers received an email about a principal from Morocco coming to interview for an elementary and middle school teacher. I immediately emailed my friend Sarah Koon (as a joke) and asked, “Is this our future?” She replied with interest, interviewed with the principal, and was offered a 5^th grade teaching position. At the end of her interview, the principal said to her, “Now the only thing that would make this more perfect is if you had a friend who was a middle school math teacher who could be your roommate.” Sarah told her about me and the principal asked Sarah to call me immediately and to have me contact her. The next day I found myself in an interview that I had not anticipated and with a job offer on the table. After a few days of prayer, questioning, and discernment I have decided to accept the offer. I am so excited and a bit nervous about what this experience will hold.
