Teaching in BOB Shantou Foreign Langauge Summer School

I enjoyed teaching more than I ever thought I would and really would not mind teaching again. Kids tend to give a lot of energy, so even when I was tired after an cultural excursion or a night out the day before, even when I felt like the lesson is not going to be as good as I would want, whenever I entered the room full with kids expecting me to give an amazing and fun lesson, you try your best and that is what the exchange program really taught me. To do the absolute best you can, even when you don't feel like you are going to succeed. Having this mindset really helps when you're in that environment.

I loved the experience mostly because of the people I was with. Our schedule was quite tight, so whenever I felt tired or upset about something, the people around me really helped. We helped each other a lot and supported each other through everything because living with 30 people for 6 weeks might be too much at times.
