How did God lead you to MCA?

I was introduced to MCA by a friend who was an aide to the Kindergarten teacher at the time.  I was called to do some substitute work in Kindergarten.  The teacher encouraged me to update my certificate and get ready to continue teaching (I had taught kindergarten for two years before my daughter was born).  After the Kindergarten Teacher went to be with the Lord, I was given the opportunity to be the teacher.

Why have you chosen to work at MCA?

I realized a definite calling to teach in my sophomore year of college, and teaching at a Christian school was on my mind.  As the end of my last year in college, a group of us students were taken to 3465 N. Cicero Ave.  to see a new school - a Christian school called Midwestern Christian Academy.  It was the year before MCA had opened!  Years later the Lord led me to MCA to teach.

Personal/Additional

My years of teaching have been very rewarding and I thank the Lord for them and for His faithfulness.  Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalms 62:8 have become very meaningful for me, throughout the development of my teaching career.
