Falling in Love with a Teaching Career

I started my college education at a private school in Wisconsin pursuing a teaching career. By the time I was a sophomore, I realized how unhappy I was attending this school. I told my parents I wanted to transfer someplace new. My mother had lived in Warsaw for about a year and a half when she was in high school. She suggested I investigate ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½. I knew I wanted to stay at a small, private, Christian school so I looked ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ up.

I fell in love with the school based off the photos, applied and signed up for classes. All of this was done before I even visited the campus! When I arrived at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½, I was placed in a single person dorm room. I had a really difficult time meeting people because I had no roommate to show me the ropes. However, because of my amazing advisor and other English professors at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½, they helped introduce me to the people who I now consider my best friends.

I graduated from ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ in December of 2017, after student teaching at Warsaw Community High School. During the semester I was student teaching, a couple of spots teaching English became available. So I was able to begin working as a full-time English teacher right after I graduated in January 2018. It’s amazing how God works everything out! I did not expect to be able to find a teaching career until the next school year when most schools would begin hiring again.
Alumni High School Teacher
I currently teach twelfth grade World Literature at Warsaw Community High School. Now I am getting married in May of this year, and my soon-to-be-husband and I will be moving to Athens, Georgia so he can pursue his career there. There I will also begin my Master’s Degree this fall, focusing on Theater so I can be a Speech, Theater, and English teacher in the years ahead. ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ prepared me for my teaching career and my pursuit of higher education. My English courses deepened my love of literature. The invaluable experiences I gained while observing in classes and taking educational courses at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ helped prepare me for my teaching career.
