I've been trying to decide if I should go and teach overseas this next schoool year. I kind of feel like God has been pressing this on my heart/preparing me for a long time. This idea has come up on multiple occassions since high school. I'm still not convinced that's where God wants me, but I think it's possible. But most schools require you to sign a two-year contract. I'm not sure I want to commit to something that big when I basically have no international experience. It would be very hard for me to be away from my family for two years.
I talked to Erin Kohl last night about it and she gave me some really great insight into the process of making this decision. I think what I would like to do is find a place overseas where I can spend the summer, or maybe just a few weeks. Either way, the point is to find a place where I can "test the water" and see how I do. I think that would probably be more effective anyways. I wouldn't be a very good teacher if I was so distracted by homesickness.
I'll be looking into some options next week, please let me know if you have any ideas for me!
