Following Her Dream
Before enlisting, Jessica promised herself to pursue a career in teaching afterwards. She said, “I wanted to go to college and be a teacher. I’m all about kids. I’ve always wanted that. I was meant for that and I was going to have it.” Nothing could stop her!
Full Circle
So yes, we all remember how Jessica joined the Army in order to pursue a teaching career. Don’t worry, things came full circle in 2011. At the age of 28, Lynch earned her education degree from West Virginia University. In fact, she completed her student-teacher requirement at her very own elementary school in West Virginia! Now, she works as a part time substitute. Therefore, she has the flexibility to do what works best for her. Plus, a full time job would be too harsh on her body.
