The Joy School Was a Joy!

I know that headline is a little corny, but it's absolutely true. I traveled to Taiwan to teach English at an English speaking camp. Not only was it my first time in Asia, it was my first time leaving the North America. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I was mostly excited, but the minimal apprehension was easily quelled when I met the staff members of the camp. Everyone was warm and friendly and very welcoming. I was the only westerner, but since it was an English speaking camp, the rule was that everyone (adults and campers) had to speak English. That definitely helped me acclimate more quickly.
Overall, my experience with the kids was amazing. The camp was only two weeks long, but everyone (including me) was very emotional when it was time to go. It was an amazing thing to see after such a short period of time.

Working in Taiwan with the Joy School gave me such a great life experience and allowed to have such wonderful memories. By the way, the trip was few years ago, but I’m happy that Go Overseas! has provided a forum for me to write about my experience for others to read about.
