#teaching abroad

So, I have been meaning to post this for some time. I guess hence the reason why I have created this account. Now, just to put this out there, this is my OWN personal intake on my experience living and teaching abroad. This is for those who do have an inkling to teach abroad, or want to gain some information on what it is like teaching abroad. Take this as you will, but I am laying out what I have been through teaching in a different country. This post will be put into two sections. This will be my first post. The second will be posted in a later post.

I first moved to Korea to teach English in February of 2023. Now, I always wanted to come to this country since my high school days. Yes, I am one of those who started off listening to K-Pop. I have lived in Korea for almost two years now, and I will move back to the States sometime in the early weeks of March. Shocking? Maybe to some, but not to others.

Now people will ask, why the sudden change of heart? Well, lets go back in February 2023. I moved to Korea for the first time, not knowing what to fully expect. Keep in mind, NEVER EVER have any high expectations on your English teaching job or the country itself. Witnessed a friend who had that type of mindset, and she did a midnight run back to the States in the middle of her contract. I did an interview with EPIK, and was able pass that. Paper works, visa, background check, all of that took soo much time. Also took majority of my paycheck. Anyways, you can choose where you want to be placed in Korea; but, it is their decision on where they will place you. *Keep in mind, you would need a TEFL certificate to send as well.*

I was placed in Busan, at least the 2nd biggest city in South Korea. Loved every minute of it. Met wonderful friends who I was able to get connected to, and gained wonderful co-teachers who have taught me so much on how to be a teacher. Now, I was lucky enough to be placed in a school with teachers who were so welcoming and helpful. That however, was just my first year here.

I have read and heard many stories of co-teachers who are just crazy to work with, and their dynamic relationship of co-teaching with them just did not work out. The following year, 2024, I decided to renew my contract and thinking it will be a good year; new co-teachers, since three of my old co-teachers left, kids moving up grades, and just my work dynamic will be either similar or different (thinking as a GOOD different). Well, oh how wrong I was.

Teaching English abroad, a profession that has been steadily gaining popularity in recent years, offers a unique blend of adventure and education. It’s an opportunity that allows teachers to embark on adventure-filled journeys while also making a meaningful impact on the lives of others by giving them access to the global language of communication. But with so many beautiful places on earth,…

Today I'm packing up to move to a new apartment and I found a little origami diamond. My students were absolute wizards at making things from origami sticky notes! I have a bunch of folded shapes and doodles from them and they're some of my favorite keepsakes.

I was looking at this little diamond shape today and I noticed something I hadn't noticed in 6 years: my student wrote her name onto her diamond. Over the years I've lost contact with a lot of my students (and I'm sure they're wildly busy going to high school and college), but I have this little folded diamond and now I have one of their names written in it.
