Amy Carrington planned to teach English in Mexico until her life took an unexpected turn. Now she teaches English to Mexican natives without ever leaving Montgomery County. Carrington, 31, learned Spanish in Crawfordsville High School and enjoyed annual trips to Mexico every time Spanish teacher Marilyn Britton organized the ventures.Amy eventually came up with a goal to do missionary work in Mexico. She even envisioned herself teaching English to the natives. She worked with churches and other organizations to secure support money for her work abroad.

She earned her teaching certificate and was ready to go. Now, Amy is in her eighth year as a Tuttle Middle School ESL teacher and wouldn’t trade the job for anything. Amanda now teaches ESL to elementary students. Most of Amy’s students are Hispanic, but others have been from Albania, Gambia and China. There are times when Amy’s ability to speak Spanish has come in handy, such as when Spanish-speaking families need a translator to order pizza. “The pizza calls are quite common,” Amy said. Amy’s family has totally supported the two sisters since the women became involved in the ESL program.
