Back to Work

It's been a long time coming, but I finally got a job! In fact, I was offered two jobs in one week! I had once again began the process of job hunting, in hopes of finding some sort of teaching job this year. I started by applying at two Christian schools in the area. A friend of ours, who taught at Covenant Christian Academy, told me there were positions available, so I sent in my resume. Our neighbor, who teaches at Beacon Christian Academy, suggested I submit my resume there, as there was a chance they would be hiring as well. I interviewed at Covenant on Tuesday for an assistant teacher position in Pre-K. The principal offered me the job at the end of the interview. I told her I needed to think about it, as it was only part-time. I also knew that I had an interview with Beacon on Wednesday as an administrative assistant. The job was offered to me that morning. Now I had a dilemma. After a year and a half of not working, I suddenly had to choose between two very different jobs! Daniel and I spent a few days discussing and praying about where I should be. In the end, I chose to work at Beacon Christian Academy. It isn't a classroom job, but I will have constant interaction with students and I'll be gaining new experience. I'm thankful to finally have a job and I look forward to starting in two weeks!
