Teach for America? Why not?!

Lest I forget to share the good news, I've accepted the invitation to join the Teach for America Corps in Nashville, TN! I'm absolutely thrilled that I was accepted because I know many before me didn't quite make the cut. It was a process that started back in August 2013. I applied in faith and solicited prayers from close family and friends. Unexpectedly, I made it through the application process and was offered an online interview, followed by a phone interview. Both interviews went very well however I was unsure if I would be called for an in-person interview. I started reading various articles and blogs and the statistics started to get the best of me. 'Of the thousands of  applicants, what would make me stand out?' Well, on October 2nd, I received an email stating that I was invited to an in-person interview at Goldman Sachs down in Miami, FL *throws confetti*! Long story short, the interview was 9a.m.-5p.m. and I had an army of prayers going up on my behalf that day. I left feeling absolutely CONFIDENT. 

 After 2 weeks of waiting, on October 31st at 8:44 p.m. I received the email stating my acceptance! There's nothing too hard for God. My life is a testimony of His goodness. Don't be afraid to dream BIG. 

Sincerely,

Karen C.
