THE TEACHER
WHO I AM.
Hello everyone!
My name is Chloe. After looking over many, many teacher blogs and scouring through
Pinterest, I decided I needed to have a place to document my adventures as a music teacher.
Here is a little about me:
May 2015 and didn't really have a plan for my life come August. I am however, a true
believer in trusting your gut. Basically in all my major life decisions up to this point I have
waited until the last minute to make a decision based on my gut feeling: where to go to
college, whether to study abroad my senior year, and what to do after college.
I had applied to graduate schools for music therapy and filled out countless teaching
applications, resumes, and cover letters. I got accepted into all three graduate schools by
February and did not hear back for interviews from any schools until late April. So it would
seem pretty obvious which route most people would have chosen. But I had this gut feeling
that I was supposed to have my own classroom in August 2015. So I waited and filled out
more applications, and waited and filled out more applications, and waited some more.
Finally, in June I heard back from a number of schools who were interested in interviews.
And I had 9 interviews in one week!
That gut feeling I had been waiting for, happened when I interviewed for a music position
split between an elementary school and a K-8 school in Darlington, South Carolina. I fell in
love with the schools and the principals upon interviewing and desperately hoped they felt
the same. And they did!! I had officially landed my first teaching job and excitement does
not even begin to explain how I felt!! So come August, I will be living in Florence, South
Carolina, with two of my dear friends and fellow music educators.
Some other fun things about me:
I am Pinterest-obsessed, hair style inept, and love Indian food, chai tea, coffee, and
the mountains.
Enjoy!
