So there I was (Ashley) waiting up for Patrick to come home from a late sortie and happened to be checking my email. An email popped up from a girl in the squadron titled "Cool Job Opportunity" and it read...
"Hey there everyone!!!!! I have a really good job opportunity for anyone who may be interested.
Who: M***** is the owner of the English speaking library. She's very nice and easy to work for:).
What: Paid Position where you will be working with Korean students, who are trying to learn English through reading. (You do not need to know any Korean.) Your main task will be discussing English books with the children. It is a very simple, yet rewarding, job!
When: The job will be available November 4th because I am leaving for home on the 14th. You would work Mondays and Wednesdays from 2pm-7pm.
Where: The library is located in Osan. You are reimbursed for gas!
Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in this amazing opportunity to help these Korean students succeed! Since there is only one position available, I will contact the first one who responds with serious interest. If you have questions, feel free to ask. I have loved working there!!!!!"
I was pretty excited and responded right away. Turns out I was the first of many to respond so I got the job. Good timing ;) I later found out that the job is not legal because I don't have a work Visa so I went back and forth on what to do. It seemed so perfect and was a way for me to get into the community. I am calling this season of our lives the "season of yes" because I am attempting to follow where the Lord leads and just say YES. This job seemed to fall right into my lap but I didn't want to jeopardize Patrick's job by doing something illegal. I finally decided to take the job as a volunteer. I told M***** I don't need to be paid but that I want to work for her for the experience. She agreed and I started the job a few weeks ago. It is a TON of fun. M**** comes into play later in our adoption journey. :)
