In this blog I hope to share with you the things I am learning through my time working as a Spanish and ELL teacher.
I work at a private Christian school in Massachusetts. This year, that school had to hire about 20 new faculty and staff members and one of those people included me!

| Here's me with most of the other new teachers! |
It was about the end of march and like every other soon-to-be college graduate I was on the job hunt. I had applied to a few different jobs and had looked at what felt like hundreds and was even considering full-time missions work. Needless to say I was doing a lot of praying about my future. Then I got a phone call from my mom. She says "Kailyn you have to check out this school. Mrs. C called and said they have a position that is perfect for you!" As it turns out it was my roommate's high school so I was already familiar with it!
In the end I interviewed for two positions but I knew I wanted to work at this school. It's funny, because I heard back from both jobs on the same day. The first job gave me a no which made me terrified when my school called. It was the Friday before graduation and I got the call as I was standing in line in Lane to get one of my last Gordon meals. I heard the words "We would like to offer you the position here" and I emphatically said yes, hung up and started crying. I had a job after graduation!!! Granted it's only part-time but I think that's going to work out well since I am applying to grad school.
So that's how it happened and here I am a teacher. (Though never an education major...) I thought I would be traveling the world at this point in my life, but I know God has me right where he wants me. I am starting to see my purpose here and I can't wait to see more!
So here's to the next chapter in my adventures, I hope you enjoy ride as much as I do!
