What?! It was 9am on a Saturday morning and I awoke to the sound of my cell phone ringing. I don't usually answer calls from numbers that I don't recognize, but that thought was quickly cleared away when I remembered that it could be someone from the Portland Job Fair that I had attended a few days prior. I sat up in bed, "How many rings have gone by," I frantically thought to myself, "Two, maybe?" I cleared my throat so I didn't sound like I had just woken up, said a few "Hello's?" outloud to make sure I sounded okay, and answered for real. "We would like you to join our team here at The Shenzhen American International School in China."
I couldn't believe the words I had just heard. I thought that I did terrible during my interview, but held my head high and knew that I had gained insight in to what a 'real' interview was like.
Now, here I am a contracted employee of a school in China. I will be teaching preschool and I am so excited to start my journey of being the head teacher of my own classroom and traveling overseas to do it.
