I'm so excited to be writing on this blog again because that means, I'm going BACK!
Roll your eyes... now.
In less than 24 hours, I've been asked to go to China in two weeks and I've accepted. Everything has happened so fast and in a whirlwind of emotions.
I don't know how to tell this story because I still can't think straight because I'm so excited.
The program director for China Horizons, Jacob, emailed me asking if I'd be willing to go to China to replace some teachers who are having health problems and need to return to the states. Oh, and would I like to bring a friend? Followed by a request to email him back for more details. With my hands on my face and tears in my eyes I told my mom what the email said. Then I did some jumping up and down, etc. I emailed Jacob twice that night because my first email was sort of incoherent. After emails and phone calls, everything has been worked out.
Sadie, my sister, is going with me and we are going to live in Yangzhong, a small city outside of Nanjing, the first city I lived in. It's a small island on the Yangtze River. We are going to be teaching middle school there for three months. We leave Oct. 2nd!
Everyone around me has been so supportive and I am so grateful. Thank you again and again!
