I just reread my post before I left NC. I discuss how I'm putting my life on pause to move to Bahrain. Funny thing is, in just three/four weeks, I know my life is not on pause here. I'm not saying this is where I want to live for the rest of my life. I'm not saying that I have found my calling and it is Bahrain. What I am saying is that my life is not on pause. I know that.
I feel like I'm already growing in my knowledge as a teacher, I am about to go to IB training in one week and I feel a huge need at the school for assessment analysis, why do we test, how do we know the students learned, etc. I am attached to some of my kids (I want to kick some too-kids are kids!) I feel a need here, which is crucial for me in a school.
I am going out and having fun. It's funny but since everyone here is in the same boat we understand that we have to be flexible. I can see how people meet internationally and become life-long "whatevers". It's kind of exciting. I know that I want to settle down somewhere. And I'm not saying Bahrain, I'm not even saying internationally. But I am saying my life is not on pause. And that is exciting.

Carissa,
ReplyDeleteI would never say I told you so, because that would be snarky. : o) But I will say that I am so happy you are so happy. I am really excited to hear what you think about the IB and math. Does your school have MYP & PYP too, or just DP?
Glad you've decided to "press play".
Beijos,
