Packing is usually a last minute endeavor saved for the wee hours before my flight. Today is no different. Tomorrow I leave for Seoul, South Korea. After months of phone interviews, essays, criminal background checks, and relayed emails, I am finally taking off for a one year contract to teach English. Since my study abroad experience in the fall of 2006, I have discovered a passion for travel, culture, and peoples. Upon graduating from college last May, I knew I wasn’t ready to join the workforce/ rat race in New York. I decided to take a job with Chung Dahm Institute (CDI Holdings Inc.) in Seoul, South Korea. I will be teaching 4th-11th graders how to write and converse in English. I have a mixture of emotions including both excitement and fear. Nevertheless, I know this will be an exciting year of traveling, adventures, meeting new people, establishing some great relationships, and most importantly --learning.
Goals:
Learn Korean
Run ½ Marathon
Coach/Play Soccer
Learn to Play the Guitar
Learn to Knit

Study for LSAT/GRE
Travel to Mongolia, Laos, Tibet, and some other places I’ve already been to
