I loved being in China. I wanted to go since I was a kid. I can’t say it was bad experience I think I couldn’t adjust that fast. Some of the things were very unfamiliar and I think I had the ‘’cultural shock’’, since I couldn’t adjust in three moths. Maybe it is not enough time to get to know other culture, I don’t know.
Anyway, my EPC was caring and we had a lot of conversations regarding how I felt there. I think I missed my country way more than I expected. I stayed for three months and it kinda helped me to get to know better myself.
Everything was fine, I loved the host family trips that we did to Beijing, Shangai, amazing cities.
My host family was great, I can say that Chinese people are very kind in general. I had no awkward situations being a foreigner there. Actually I got a few presents from my host family and EPC and it melt my heart.
The kids loved me,I think I did good job. Other Edu-Pals helped me to get know the kids and how they work, they treated me seriously and very professional.
I was slow at first, didn’t know what to do really but I got help and I was glad I had someone to turn to. After I got to know the kids, it was easy to teach. We came up with many activities and I really liked working with kids.
Going to China and taking this program was worth it, although I couldn’t adjust at first I gained more professional experience, I feel more confident when it comes to future teaching or childcare. My recommendation is to take this programs and see where are you at.
