Well, I'm not there yet. I'm preparing to go to Kuwait.
I will be teaching 3rd grade next year at an American school in Kuwait.
So how did you get a job like this? Well, since you asked, (or rather since many people have asked)- I attended an international job fair.
I knew I wanted to teach elementary school overseas. So, when I saw there was going to be a job fair in a neighboring state, I signed myself up. Fortunately, a fellow recent graduate asked to join me. We packed 3 interview outfits and headed to Iowa. Around 600 teachers attended the fair, along with representatives from 125 International Schools.
Long story short, I was offered a position at, what seems like a good, school in Kuwait. Kuwait was not in my top 10 initial choices, so I knew little about it before I began prepping for my interview.
It was one of those times when you just know. I had many incredible encounters with superintendents and principals from other schools, but this one just felt right. I believe moving to the Middle East to teach is the right thing for me, right now.

I believe it the right thing too, Shannon! Many prayers will be following you. Sherry.
