It begins

That moment when you decide to make a HUGE change in your life, but you don't know how to break it to your family....I don't know about you, but my face is a little like this:


Is this confused enough?



A little confused...not really wanting to deal with it, but knowing it must be done.  I'm excited that I've decided to teach abroad and hope that I secure an amazing school that I will want to spend more than a year at.  I'm excited and scared that I'll not find a job.  What if I'm over qualified, what if there is a whiter, younger, thinner female who gets all the jobs I want....what if?  Am I worrying for nothing?  I'm going to remain positive and say, yes!  I just need to chill.

The most stressful part of the wait has to be, by far, that aggravating  background check.  Why does it take so long and when can I expect to finally have ALL of my documents in hand? 

I hope this post served as a brief intro to me....I want to use this blog as a teacher/life/travel thing that inspires other teachers, like me, who love what they do.


Ayeshah, Teacher
