Entering the workforce during a pandemic

The first year out of college can be challenging, imagine adding a pandemic to the learning curve. Miss Abbey Ticknor feels so blessed to begin her teaching career, back at Tree where she graduated in 2016. Abbey knows she is right where God has called her to be; and while feeling overwhelmed at times, she receives overwhelming support. As far as adding COVID to the mix of a first-year teacher, she said she doesn’t know any different, so there is nowhere to go from here but up. 

The last 12 months have been a blessing for Abbey in that she has grown in her prayer life and has seen God so large, even in small details. Her dependence on Him has been very evident, as He guided her through college graduation, moving back to Columbus, and launching her teacher career.
