Hey, how was your visit with your grandma?

It was great.

She is so happy now that She is teaching again!

Good for her!

Was she a teacher before she retired?

She was actually a writer.

But her first job was a school teacher.

Her career has come full circle!

To “come full circle” means that something returns to its original starting point, usually after going through many changes.

Imagine drawing a circle and ending at the exact same point you began.

A belief, experience or career are all things that can come full circle.
