Every summer has become a journey of learning about education systems around the world, but this summer has been truly exceptional.
With every experience, I create new memories, add another bilingual book to my classroom library, enjoy the local cuisine, and bring fresh ideas back to my students.
✅ Japan 🇯🇵
✅ South Korea 🇰🇷
✅ Taiwan 🇹🇼
Next stop: South Africa 🇿🇦
I’ll be traveling with an incredible group of educators from across the United States. We’ve spent months reading about South Africa and learning its history. Now we have the privilege of experiencing the Motherland firsthand—visiting schools, exploring historical sites, immersing ourselves in the culture, and learning from its people.
What an incredible honor. I am deeply humbled, grateful, and excited for all that lies ahead.
I appreciate the love and support of my family, church family, and friends. Thank you God for your traveling mercies.
