Lifelong Learning - Personal Growth and Acceptance
Cultural learning and self-discovery were paramount in my decision to stay and live in Korea for 6 years. My time was about personal growth and acceptance and finding my purpose. Korean culture will always hold a special place in my heart and has become a part of my identity. In my classroom, I want to give my learners opportunities to explore other cultures around the world and help find and foster their own unique identities.
