There are a lot of things that I could say about China... This has been one of the most difficult places that I have lived in my life! However, my thought and purpose when I first came here was to take some time, discover a new culture that I knew nothing about, look a little deeper into my life and generally improve my perspective of my position in this world! I love kids and I love working with kids! And frankly that is really the only thing I consistently love about teaching! The paper work is crazy, the politics are ridiculous, the parents are insane, the management is... well not nice words! But these KIDS!!! All it takes is one running up to me for a hug, their snuggles and sleepy smiles after naptime, their kisses, when they pull on me every which way to play with them and begging me to come home with them! I love my kids! We tell them that they are the future leaders of the world...but really what I care about is that they will bring kindness, love, empathy and joy into the world! I'm honored to be a part of that!
