It all happened so quickly!!

Soooo, you know the quote "when you make plans God laughs"...I now know exactly what that quote means. When 2014 started out, I was sure I was going to grad school. I was POSITIVE the next step in my life was to start the fall of 2014 in a Ph.D program for Special Education. I spent all my monies applying to programs, because I was SO sure that was the plan for my life. Well March of 2014, I received all of my rejection letters, had my moment of devastation and said, "Well what now!?!?!"

Well here is what! I decided to start applying to teaching positions outside of North Carolina. I was ready to embark on a new adventure...I had no idea what was in store for me. 

Long story short, I applied for a job. I followed up my application with an email to the principal over Easter weekend. To follow were the quickest two weeks full of interviews, reference checks, Skype calls, emails...and then the Skype call of them all!!!! I GOT THE JOB!!!!!

What is the job you ask?!?! Well on July 26th, I am leaving for MUMBAI INDIA!!!! I will be working for the American School of Bombay as an Academic Specialist (Special Education Teacher) for the Elementary School. 

FAQ:

God may have laughed...but now I am laughing too!!!
