Leaving Bangkok with a Bang

The last few days in Bangkok were spent having fun with all of the camp leaders. Brittnii, Emily and I bonded with Andrew and Waymon during our three short weeks in Thailand. We spent so much time with them. They were just as thankful as we were for each other. They told us numerous times how much they enjoyed having us visit them for three weeks. a big thanks also goes out to Andreas for running the camp. He was a great leader and very helpful. He is a great role model with all of the success he has had in Thailand.

            This trip was yet again a great success. I want to thank Dr. Park, Jeff Constant and Dr. Rugsaken for everything they did to make this trip possible. I learned so much about teaching during the week-long camp. I know that as I move on into my next phase of life I will be more prepared thanks to the RMUTP English Camp.

            Getting the opportunity to experience a different culture is something one should never pass on. In the end you learn even more about yourself. On this trip I learned that I am capable of being a teacher, I already felt that I belonged outside of the US and still continue to feel this way. Being in a foreign country you learn to make friends that you would not have otherwise. The 5 that I mention over and over in this blog will always hold a special place in my heart. We spent 24 hours together day in and day out, it was very hard saying good bye to each other.

            After landing in Atlanta I could not wait to get on another plane and start another journey. If everything goes as planned I will be leaving in late August to teach for a year in South Korea. So watch out for another edition of my blogs.
