The second installment of Making a life in Addison County profiles a very different story of a young adult in the local community. Carolyn Griggs, 23, grew up in Lincoln and went to Castleton State College to study elementary education. After she graduated last year, she moved back into her family’s Lincoln home, and got a job assistant teaching at Addison Central school.
In the next few years, she thinks she will have to leave Addison County to find a full time teaching job and get her master’s degree in teaching. Eventually, though, wants to settle down in the Lincoln area permanently — her family and the area’s sense of community are big draws.
