This is my first blog. Come inside my thoughts as I impart on this journey...
In one month and three days I will leave for a year in Thailand! :) I will be teaching the third grade class at Global English School. It is my first class and I am so excited to begin teaching and using my fancy college degree! :)
Last September through December I spent that time in Thailand at the same school. I spent the time working with students, helping teachers, and doing a lot of bulletin boards! It will be reassuring to be able to go back to a familiar school, and be with familiar people! Thailand has a saying though that I think applies to my situation. When in a local store or talking to a taxi driver, when comparing various items, they will always say that they are "same same but different!" This is much what I am expecting of my first month or two back in Thailand. Much of it will be the same. The school will be the same, many of my students will be the same, some of the people I work with will be the same, etc. HOWEVER, I am also fully prepared for changes. Some teachers are not returning, students are a year and a grade older, my housing will be different, and my mindset will be different because I will be staying a lot longer! I'm excited for this opportunity though!
Thanks for joining me in the journey! I'll keep you posted on all experiences and adventures! :)
