Hi, I'm MollyMy story starts in central Minnesota. I am the youngest of five siblings who have made me into the person that I am. Between the four of them, they have seven children who have my heart and refuse to return it. I don't mind too much, though. Traveling around to spend life with them has truly been one of the greatest blessings of my life. My parents are the best kind of people. I've inherited their big soft hearts and their ability to make all places home - gifts I can only hope to use half as beautifully as they have.
In my school years, I was very involved - probably obnoxiously so. Some of my favorite things I was a part of were speech and drama, student council, yearbook, and band. Much of what led me to English was my speech and drama experience, and for that reason, am very interested in being a speech coach or a drama director. I am profoundly impacted by the ways that words can move people. I was also very involved in my church, which is what ultimately led me to education. I began teaching a fifth grade faith formation class when I was a junior in high school, and have been teaching in some capacity ever since. I fell in love with education simply and deeply. |
The next part of my story takes me to Bismarck, ND, which is where I am now. I am a senior at the University of Mary studying English Education. The University of Mary has given me experiences I could have had nowhere else, a road to my future as an educator, and some of the most beautiful people I have ever met - including my husband-to-be, Isaac Noel.
I look to the future with gratitude, joy, and anticipation. Isaac was recently accepted to the University of Wisconsin River Falls to pursue his Master's Degree in School Counseling, which we are excited beyond words about. We look forward to making a home in the River Falls area in the next few months. I am closer than ever to realizing my dream of becoming an English teacher. This next year is going to be full of change and growth for me and I simply cannot wait to begin. |
I am all of the places in which I've left my heart. |
