Oh Boy! So much to do, so little time! I find myself one week away from one of the largest trips I have ever taken, and while I am frantically trying to cross my t's and dot my i's, I think the best preparation is to clam down, be flexible, be adaptive, and get ready for a genuine learning experience.
Last year I began the Teachers for Global Classrooms Program, and now I am just days away from my field experience as an educator in Ogan Ilir, Indonesia. I will be traveling with 11 other amazing educators from all over the United States. We will be learning about the culture of Indonesia, and we will immerse ourselves in their education system during our time there.
I will be flying from Jakarta in Java to Palembang, Sumatra with a fellow TGC member, Jaqueline, a Biology teacher from Mississippi. From Palembang we will be traveling with our host to her school in Ogan Ilir.
So today is the the first official post for my blog! I am happy to have it started, and excited to keep updating my adventures! As for today's Memorial Day Adventure...SHOPPING! Not for me :) I will be staying with a family during my time in Ogan Ilir and need to find the perfect gift. Wish me luck!
