July 22, 2014! This is the day my life and career will change substantially. My departure was originally set for August 14, but I was offered to teach summer school and ultimately could not turn down the opportunity to settle in early and earn a nice extra chunk of money. Given the labour situation in BC it will be nice to leave a place with totalitarian government tactics for China.
With that being said the preparation for this adventure will be paramount to a successful time on both a personal and professional level. I will begin this blog by steadily updating my process and the steps I take.
It will be difficult to leave my family and friends, but given the connected nature of the world today I feel that there will be a much smaller feeling of separation then in the past.
I have also enjoyed my time teaching in 100 Mile House, BC. The kids are great, especially my stalker filled English 11 class ;), However, if I stayed longer it would only make the attempt to leave more difficult as I grew more attached to the students as a whole. I also hope they can use my example, as support, in trying new and exciting things as the possibilities emerge in their own life's. Until next time!
