On the first day of the New Year 2017, I make up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer(志愿者). At the beginning, all I care about is travelling and seeing the world. I don’t know how wonderful my life will be in the coming months!

My journey begins with the TESOL certification (认证) lessons in my home state of Florida last February.

After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ study online, I get my TESOL certificate(证书). I finally fly to Thailand in early April and I can’t wait to visit this country.

After a few weeks of travelling alone, I meet Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It is great to meet other people who are on the same journey as me. After that, I go to the seminar (研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I go to my employment school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.

I truly love my job— I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest kids in the world. It’s a truly wonderful thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life.

The city Buriram is small, with green rice fields. People here are friendlier than anyone I’ve ever met. Everyone you meet is so glad to say “Hello” and “Good morning”. I’ve been taken out to dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and even a motorbike, and I am given the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay(回报) them in the future.
