Orientation is over.
Two weeks of school have passed.
And then I got Pneumonia.
I guess thats my body's way of telling me that working for 5 or so weeks straight, everyday, all day is not a good thing.
But what a whirlwind it was.
I AM NOW THE FIELD DIRECTOR OF WORLDTEACH IN AMERICAN SAMOA.
There are now 23 NEW volunteers who arrived as fresh faced and eager as I did those 13 months ago.
It was awesome to lead their orientation and make it so much better than mine was. With the experience of living and teaching here for a year, I was really able to add things to the orientation that I thought my new volunteers would find useful and appropriate. Was it a demanding schedule? Of course it was, because I usually think its better to go big or go home.
I'm sure most of them enjoyed the activities when I took them out of the classroom but my favorite was watching them work together to brainstorm teaching ideas that they will hopefully use in their classrooms.
I really think this is going to be a great year!
