I love sunsets and sunrises. On this day I was blessed to be able to see both. Of course, everyday that we wake up and go to sleep, they exist, but how often do we actually watch both.
My sisters and I left Atlanta around 4:30am on Tuesday 2.9.16. We were trying to beat the snow storm that was headed to Philly. During the long ride home, I received a phone call from my TeachAway rep. She told me that the QF was interested in a follow up interview with me and asked if I would be available the next day. “Of course! But wait, where do I need to go for this one?” Fortunately it would be a SKYPE interview from the comforts of my own home. “Thank God!” As much as I love to travel, I was craving my own bed and to see my husband, kids and Zoey the dog.
By the time I reached home, it was dark, snowing and cold. A Qatar number came up on my caller ID. I was nervous about answering. But I did. It was Dawn, the Director of Al Wakra. She told me that she was very interested in me and wanted me to interview with her Principal and Vice Principal since if I was offered the job and I accepted I would be working closely with them. I was happy that things were moving in a positive direction. Then she told me that if all went well, I’d have an offer letter the next day. “WHAT!”
Now I was panicking…I hadn’t heard from Abu Dhabi or Kuwait yet.
