End of Year Two

Blue Pond

Its hard to believe that its nearly the end of another school year.  It seems like it just flew by.  We finished another spring break only a couple of weeks ago.  I head south to Ao Nang- my second Thai home.  It was fun hanging out with my friends again.  We spent one day at Railay Beach as well, swimming in the sea and climbing down rocks to the lagoon.

A cave on Railay Beach that is supposed to be for fertility.  I call it the  phalic cave

Now back at work, I'm doing end of the year testing and scheduling IEP meetings for those of my students who need it.

This is the year that my two year contract ends.  I had the option of leaving at the end of the school year or sign a new contract.  I had hoped to get a job in Southern Thailand but apparently that is something that God is going to have me wait a little longer for.  I've known since the first or second month after I moved to Thailand that I was going to be staying here beyond my two year contract.  Thailand has been a really good fit.  I'm still learning new things and meeting new people.  But I'm also discovering new things about myself.  I've been learning to be the person who stands up for my students and learning that my opinion matters too.  I'm learning to be more bold.
