It's official!

It's official I have been hired as a full-time Bible teacher at Liberty Christian Academy! I am so excited! The past few years I have really found a love for teaching and now I will get to teach my favorite subject every day. As far as I have been told I will be teaching 8th grade Bible which is great as this is my favorite age group. In addition to this I will be starting on my Master's degree at Liberty University since it will be free! So I will be very busy starting the middle of next month.

Right now I am in Lynchburg for the weekend looking for an apartment and on Sunday I will be signing my contract with the school! Camp has been going well although this week seemed long and tiring. I did switch from 13 year olds to 9-10 year olds and the younger ones require more attention and TLC. The 13 year olds are very independent and needless to say I will be switching back to them this next week. Man I need to post some pics. I will soon I promise!

A quick update!

Well this is going to be a quick update as it's 12:30 at night and I have a new week of camp starting tomorrow but a quick update is better than no update! the past three weeks of camp have been so much fun! The first week I had what was described as the worst cabin of 13 year olds the camp has ever seen! This camp has been around since the 1960's just to give you an idea! They really weren't that bad but it was a cabin full of skater punks with bad attitudes. When we would catch them breaking the rules they lied to get out of trouble and one or two even sneaked out in the middle of the night to meet up with a girl at the riffle range in the woods. Of course they lied their way out of it. Some how through it all the kids all liked me and they all said I was a cool counselor. The last two weeks were great though and I had great kids who were all just there to have a good time at camp.

In other news, I have applied to two Universities to start working on my Master's degree in the fall. I have already been accepted to Liberty University where I got my undergraduate degree from and I also applied to Regent University in Virginia Beach. So far Liberty is looking good as I have also interviewed to be an 8th grade Bible teacher at Liberty Christian Academy. If I get hired I would get free tuition at the University as a benefit which would be huge! I could get a free Master's degree while working as a teacher teaching my favorite subject. This Thursday I have my second interview and I should know a few days after that if I am hired so I will let you all know.
