     I have had the most wonderful week!                           someone like me.

     Why? Because I have had the privilege of                      So, thank you again for bringing your

     engaging                                                      children  to  us,  and  thank  you  for
                 in  my  first  passion:  teaching.
     Unforeseen circumstances led to the need                      allowing me to live the dream!

     for an additional classroom teacher and I

     immediately volunteered. I have to confess

     that  I  was  a  little  nervous,  having  never

     before taught in Nigeria, or Africa for that
     matter.


     I have never before felt so welcome in the                     …to  have  the  opportunity  to
     classroom.  The  students  were  incredible:                   lead such a fine institution, and

     so engaging, communicative, and fun!

                                                                    then to teach in it, is a dream

     After my first day, I found myself secretly                    come true for someone like me.
     wishing that I could step up again, and my

     wish  was  granted.  Teachers  sometimes

     strive for additional responsibilities, which

     take them out of the classroom more and

     more.
