When the opportunity came for me to teach in China, I immediately said, “NO!” I was thinking of traveling to places like South America, France, Italy, Greece, etc. because I had romanticized these places in my mind from what I had seen on television and read about in magazines.

I even met someone studying Chinese to be an interpreter! I kept running into people who had some kind of connection with...  [Read more]
