Sigh of Relief

I just got off the phone with the recruiter for Teach Overseas. After freaking out over it for the whole day she finally called at 6:00 pm on the dot. I was amazed at how open and honest I was with her, but also the questions that were asked were pretty heavy anyway. But I felt like it went well, I was surprised at how I answered some questions. We talked about why I want to go overseas, my relationship with God, my relationship with others, my experience with teaching, and what I should expect from my experience overseas.

It was a lot of good information and I feel more confident and excited about going over there. But on the other hand, I feel that even if I don't get to go I have learned so much through this experience. I know that God will use me either in the states or in Morocco and he has set up this experience for one reason or another. I also feel like I'm in the place where if I didn't get accepted then I would still be ok. So that's good.

So now that I have turned in my application and done the interview now I have to wait for them to send their information to the school in Morocco, I have to complete a video of me teaching a lesson, and I have to wait for my references to send in their information. ^.^ I'm getting that much closer to knowing if I'm really going to be going or not.

Time to tell the masses!

Today I made an announcement to my family. I have been trying to get up the nerves to tell them for a while now, waiting till it was a very serious thing, and now it is. So since they know I can tell everyone else!


I just recently submitted an application to teach overseas in Morocco!! It's a 2 year commitment and I'm really excited. The kids will speak mostly English, but also French and Arabic.


So that's that, and now I just await to see if they accept me!
