What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I don't have enough room to write it all down. Learning how to make do is a skill that all teachers need to acquire. Improvisation on the spot and non-reliance on electrical gadgets and technology is an important skill. Humbleness, compassion and understanding are paramount and the willingness to concede that your educational system may not be the best nor should it be the goal. Being a minority in a culture that you don't understand is a huge lesson unto itself.

| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I wish I knew what kind of resources to bring with me and how hard it would be to acquire things in Ghana. Also, to know how corrupt the government is and how hard a visa renewal would be. This also includes the postal service. |
