Campaign ManagerA Passionate Educator
Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Hannah Upp loved interacting with kids, and she was delighted after moving to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands of the U.S. to serve as a teacher’s assistant. The year 2013 was turning out to be the best year of her life, Hannah’s much-awaited dream of teaching at a place she considered to be a paradise had come true. She was excited to be a faculty at a Montessori school, a place that works on developing a child’s different attributes- social, physical, and emotional, and in no time Hannah had become everyone’s favorite.
Checking In
Hannah decided to check on her ex-boyfriend Joe Spallino, after six days of the event. She drove to Spallino’s house only to find that he wasn’t there and all his personal possessions were missing. To her luck, Spallino’s landlord was present there. He informed Hannah that Spallino had gone to the harbor for helping locals to escape the island on “mercy ships”.
Where’s Hannah?
Hannah was quite passionate about what she did for a living, and she would never miss school without a prior notice. She had also left a note for her room mate that clearly mentioned attending the school after her swim. Furthermore, when Maggie Guzman called Hannah’s friends.They told her that Hannah hadn’t been answering their calls as well and they hadn’t seen her since Thursday morning. When things didn’t add up, they agreed to go look for her at the Sapphire beach which was Hannah’s favorite spot.
An Unlikely Connection
Barbara felt awful because of the distress she had caused to this woman, she also explained it to the woman that she had been looking for her daughter. To Barbara’s surprise, the woman admitted that she had seen leaflets with Hannah’s face, “I wish I was her for you,” said the woman. Barbara felt her words deeply and could only wonder if this woman’s mother was searching for her as well.
A New Start
A lot had happened in the past and Hannah found it difficult to move on being in the same place and stuck with the same old memories. After a year of struggle, she eventually moved to her mother’s place in Philadelphia. She also enrolled herself at a Quaker study center named Pendle Hill. It looked like everything was back on track for Hannah, she successfully completed three years at the center and went on to become a teaching assistant in a Montessori school in Maryland.
