My coteacher went to the supervisor to inform him that I may be sick and that I was slacking off by using my cellphone. She returned to our classroom and said that the supervisor wanted to see me. This was the start of several interactions with that sharply dressed (at least on the first day…

Winter Camp 1
One Week in November I had submitted my application for the winter camp after being referred by a colleague. Late November I hadn’t heard from the recruiter, so I called to inquire about the camp.

Imagination
Today I was fortunate enough to have the misfortune of sitting-in on my coworker’s class. Fortunate because observing her would lead me to new understandings about teaching, I presumed. I began to understand that these classes can be conducted in less structured ways than I had originally envisioned. She talked with her students. She engaged them. There…

That initial experience afforded me the opportunity to become acclimated to the lifestyle and customs of…
Cubicle Assignments
On the day that we were to receive our desk assignments, I noticed that my desk hadn’t been assigned. I felt that this was an opportunity for me to choose my seat. I remember feeling a bit slighted since I wasn’t already assigned a desk like some of the others. I decided to find a seat I liked. I did…
A New Job = A New Life
This chapter of my life continues following my move from the Chungcheon-nam province in which I lived in a city called Asan. I had lived there for nine months of which three months I spent on vacation. I was an elementary school teacher for the Sun Moon University while enrolled in a Master’s of Education…
