A Day in the Life

Hello Blog Fans,

I would like to take this time to appreciate you for supporting my blog. I love you. Things have been pretty uneventful here—which I think is a good thing! I signed up for the gym and tonight was the first time I went!! I have had enough of my lazy self. The days go by so quickly for me, I am always busy. This Friday is the end of my First Quarter at school, so I’m getting those reports ready! I’m also going to be advising a few high school girls in their goal to recreate the play, “Annie”, which they performed when they were in elementary school at EBV. I of course made sure to tell them I was VERY experienced with Annie because of my part in a talent show in elementary school where I wore a pink feather boa (which tangled and knotted around my neck) and played the mean, witchy lady that owned the orphanage. While I’m sure I did not need to take on more than I already have, I couldn’t be more excited!!!! Let’s face it, when can I have this opportunity again?!


This is a difficult time of year for me to be away from home because of all of the excitement—Chelsea’s birthday, Rachel and my birthday, Dad’s birthday, Halloween traditions, and the first signs of autumn. I am always thinking about it, especially in this heat. This weekend is a three day weekend for us, just as I’m used to at home. A big group of us are going to a place called Puerto La Cruz, where I will hopefully get my tan back! From the pictures I’ve seen, it looks like paradise, and right now, I need some paradise!!!! I will make sure to take lots of exciting pictures for you all. Today was our EBV spirit day, I painted my face this morning, but then I found out that face paint is against the rules! LOL But I did get a selfie so good for me, right?!

Introduction to Venezuela: Week 1

Image
Hello World! I know there are so many people wondering what in the world I'm doing in South America. Well, I made a promise to myself after I studied abroad that, before I "settle down", I will teach abroad.  So... Because of my unbelievably supportive boyfriend Seth and my family who are worried every minute of the day--and I'm sure even in the middle of the night, I have taken a 5th grade teaching position at Escuela Bella Vista (EBV), an IB American school in Maracaibo, Venezuela. In the middle of my first year of teaching as an ESOL teacher, I applied to all of the international schools that offered positions through my account on ISS. I took this job because of two teachers who have been working at EBV for 5 years. They said three things that made my decision pretty clear:  " Here I actually get to teach , I feel supported in my decisions, and adore working with Ms. Gomez. She is very supportive of our decisions we make as teachers and always open to...

Special Assembly and Harrow School Tour

Image
It was a VERY special day at Roxeth; Our morning began with a visit from paralympian, Naomi Riches; She gave an amazing speech to our primary students about the way in which she got to be where she is today!! Naomi's vision is severely impaired, but she had the opportunity to be a part of the British rowing team back in 2001 (I think)! She let us take a picture with her, showing her most recent gold metal that she won in London 2012! It was much heavier than I expected! Then our head teacher wanted us to see Harrow School, so she set up a tour for us. It was such a rainy day, but the heart of Harrow showed through regardless. This is their theater; the children must try every kind of subject and sport their first year. In the theater, the children can put on anything they want including productions, concerts, discos, and debates.  Can you spot Winston Churchill's name? This room is FAMOUS. It was the first room ever built, and for a lo...
