This Time Last Year...

This time last year I was about to embark on another big adventure: a semester long teaching internship in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.  I cannot believe it's already been an ENTIRE YEAR since landing in South Africa, meeting my students at Pearson High School, and having the experience of a lifetime.  Africa is definitely the place to go if you have any fears you want to conquer; whether it's flying alone or swimming with sharks (!) there's a first time for everything and Africa is absolutely the place to do it.  Trips abroad like this one are the perfect opportunity to become more independent and adventurous.  I have so many memories from my trip to SA that I will never forget and can't wait to create even more in England.

Any education majors interested in interning abroad: feel free to email me for more information on the program I went through (brookepandp@gmail.com).  It was an amazing experience and one that I think everyone should have.  I'm looking for to my time in grad school, and in the UK in general, being as equally challenging and rewarding as this trip was!

Cheers, Brooke
