What Is This All About?
I have been granted a leave of absence from my job as a fifth grade teacher for the 2011-2012 school year in order to be a volunteer teacher on Boracay Island in the Philippines. I have always wanted to teach in another country, and I am excited to learn about what life is like in the Filipino culture. I know it is much different than what my life has been like teaching in Auburn for the past 5 years! I hope that you enjoy learning about Boracay with me as I experience life on the island!
