How Life Has Moved On.


Last time I got to write her I was starting the second year at AISA, now I am into the first year of my new job at a school in Germany.
Quick catch up then.
I finished my two years at AISA and was happy to find a job at a school in Frankfurt, Germany. It's almost a dream come true. There are a few problems which make it not the dream, but it's wondrful and I'm very happy. If I spoke German it would be absolutely my dream job.
I am the 'Head of Humanities' which in itself is a joke, because I am the only Humanities teacher in the school. Next year I get to teach IB History and possible IB Business and Management. Fun and games.
I have some wonderful teaching companions and feel at home and liked and supported. It is most definately a better place to be. Of course, it does help that I do love Germany. I'm looking forward to getting to know the place better and to learning the language. That of course is a slow process.
I do wonder sometimes what brought me here and what plan is in place that this is the place I should be at this point in my life.
As a teacher I always assume it is to do something for the students I teach and I hope that is the answer, but what exactly I am supposed to be doing for these students escapes me. I am sure it will come to me in time.
So, I am on phase two of my Whole New Life Adventure and it is looking better and better. Time will tell and perhaps I will start writing on the blog and people might actually read it.
