Many new graduates are headed overseas to live the life of an English instructor. TEFL Certificates are in hand and you have this strange idea that you are about to change the world. This lasts until the first five minutes of your first class and then your goal becomes: survive, at all costs. Deep breaths though, by the end of the year, you will be a pro at everything from keeping the kids on task to forestalling a full on meltdown. This is a chance for you to be immersed in a completely different culture while realizing that kids all around the globe are pretty much the same. There are low days and there are high days, but nothing in the world beats the feeling of knowing that a kid knows more about the world because of you. The free weekends to go island hopping, waterfall chasing, and hiking up volcanoes don’t hurt either.
