Jill Biden Closes the Chapter on Her Teaching Career at a Virginia Community College

Jill Biden, the First Lady of the United States, has officially announced the end of her teaching career at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). After four decades in education, she shared this news during a virtual event focused on thanking teachers nationwide.

Teaching Journey

In her heartfelt statement, she expressed her deep affection for teaching, saying, "Being your first lady has been the honor of my life. But being your colleague has been the work of my life." Jill Biden revealed that she conducted her final class last Thursday, marking a significant milestone in her career.

Years at NOVA

Jill Biden began her teaching role at NOVA in 2009, a decision made right after the election of Barack Obama and Joe Biden to the presidency and vice presidency. For the past 15 years, she taught English and writing, continuing her educational endeavors even while serving as First Lady. Riding the train from Delaware to Virginia, she has been committed to her students and teaching profession.

She has always emphasized the importance of education in her life, stating, "Teaching isn’t what I do, it’s who I am." Her decision to step away comes as she and President Joe Biden are preparing for a new chapter, following Biden's recent announcement regarding his presidential election campaign.

In closing her teaching chapter, she reflects on a rewarding career and looks forward to new opportunities, while remaining committed to the importance of education.
