"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and He will direct your path." (Proverbs 3:5-6) This has always been my favorite Bible verse, but I truly learned the importance of it this summer.
I graduated from Auburn in May with a B.S. in Elementary Education. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. Both of my grandmothers and several aunts are teachers. I also had the most fantastic teachers in elementary school. Props to Barkley Bridge for setting such a great example of what elementary education should be like!
The job search this summer was very slow. I was starting to get a little worried when it was the middle of June and I didn't have a job yet. A sweet friend encouraged me to look into Fulton County Schools (in Atlanta). I did so, and that same day I had three interviews set up. A week later I had accepted a 2nd grade position at Brookview Elementary School, Home of the Pandas! My sorority mascot was a panda, so you can imagine the excitement I felt knowing I could decorate my room with pandas!
My parents went with me this weekend to find a place to live! I will be 20 minutes from school, 20 minutes from grandparents, 2 minutes from my dad's cousins, and 30 minutes from an aunt and uncle (all depending on traffic, of course)! I am so blessed to be surrounded by so much loving family! (Not to mention its just an hour and a half from Auburn!)
It is going to be a crazy two weeks, but I am so excited for the next stage in life! My heart is so full knowing I will have a classroom full of second graders needing all the love and prayers I can give them! I promise to do my best keeping my blog updated with lots of pictures and fun stories from 2nd grade!
