During my junior year of college, I signed up for a volunteer leaching program in Costa Rica. I lived within an inspiringly colorful living quarter which was 1 into a female and male section, along with a kitchen, eating room and conference room. I taught at a school. It was located (位于) within a 2 and every day birds and butterflies flew throughout our school. It was 3 . We were 4 on Costa Rica's school system, the country, the language and how to 5 a lesson. Additionally, we took part in 6 acclivities lo relax ourselves.
The experience was beneficial to my English writing 7 when I got back to college, I began writing. I wrote so much that a piece of my writing about that experience was 8 in Folio's Literary Magazine. Because of that, I was more 9 to continue working abroad.
After 10, I moved to China for a year and worked in schools to teach reading and writing. It was a life-changing 11 of my life. Not only did I 12 my experiences through a weekly blog, but I began a book. Culture differences 13 me and even consumed me in the beginning, but 14 I fell in love with the people, their schools and their history.
Upon 15 to my home, I became a teacher in Trenton, New Jersey. The moment I stepped into the classroom. I could empathize (感同身受) with my 16. I truly feel volunteering in Costa Rica was where it all 17 and working in China enriched my leaching life. If I could do anything 18 , it might be volunteering or working abroad more before settling down.
The 19 I've made through volunteering and working abroad are an English major's dream and I hope that every English major 20 the chance to study or work abroad.
