After I received my bachelors in Elementary Education from UNCW, I took an international teaching position in Kuwait. I was fresh out of college and starting my very first teaching job half-way around the world from my home, and in a country and a culture I had never experienced before. To say I was overwhelmed that first year, would be a complete understatement! The culture and students were very different from anything I had experienced in my student teaching year. My first school was patient and understanding though, and I made it successfully through my first year. I resigned for a second year before moving to a different country. |
