I have been so lucky to be able to teach and spend time with my students at UCI. As I was eager to get back into the classroom again, it provided me that opportunity while allowing me to continue to cultivate my passion for other cultures. Being back in the States for the past eight months has been good, but I would definitely give up Southern California traffic and the materialism for life abroad. The majority of my students are from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan...all countries that I will most likely visit while working with Hope International University overseas so I'll have friends when I go there. Above is Ertan, the token Turkish student, my roomate Lisa, and Lisa (my student). The second picture is a few of my students at a picnic that we had together.
