Changes

Although not 100% official by any means and given my track record with changing my mind a million times who knows but, I am planning on coming home in August. Financially speaking, this isn't the best move I could make, but education wise, it is. I really want to go back to school and get at the very least, my teaching certificate. However, since I have found an excellent program that would allow me to obtain my license and a master's in TESL, I want to start sooner rather than later. This also means that I need to take not only my GRE, but my PRAXIS. I can take the GRE in Korea, but with work and everything, I barely have the time to write in my blog let alone study for a test that could make or break me. I can't take the PRAXIS in Korea so I'd need to come home for a bit just to take that.

Korea has taught me many things and one of those is that I REALLY want to be an ESL teacher. It is not only rewarding, but also fun and challenging. My dad always told me that I'd be a teacher, but I tried to defy that as long as I could. To some extent, I'm still trying to find something to do rather than teach. However, the more I think about my time in Korea and the other opportunities I've had for teaching, the happier I am. Education truly (and the lack there of) makes this world what it is. I am happy teaching and I can't wait to learn how to be a better teacher and I'm really excited to embark upon a new journey.
