So today I finally made the decision to teach in South Korea official. For the past few weeks I was tore on whether to go or stay at WVCS. I absolutely love the school and the purpose I have as a teacher not just teach history, but history on the foundation of God, made my life feel as if it had more meaning. There were a couple of apathatic students, that's common, but for the most part they were the best students I had ever worked with. It was hard at times to remain professional when so many of them felt like dear friends. I'm so nervous about this upcoming adventure I can only imagine what awaits me in the next chapter of my life. However, I should make it clear that my time at WVCS has not concluded. If the Lord allows it I hope to possible return if not as a teacher than a guest speaker for chapel, whatever it be a part of me will forever cling to the precious and fond memories I had at WVCS.

Thank you so much for making the last semester so much fun! You by far are the best history teacher I have had. I can't wait to hear of what God has in store for you, in South Korea. You will be in my prayers. You will also be dearly missed, and I hope you come back and share all good memories you've had!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt I will cross the terrain, climb the mountains, dash past the open fields, sail the murky waters, zig zag throught the thicket of people and I will bring you not only news of my soon to be adventures, but also a piece of South Korean chocolate, I hear it's kind of like chalk though. Your prayers are much appreciated. I get really nervous before leaving my homeland perhaps prayers to comfort me that would really help.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Can't wait to try chocolate and hear of them all!! I think anyone would be nervous, but i do believe prayers will help!
