After graduating from the College of William and Mary with a degree in East Asian Studies, I accepted a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship grant based in South Korea. I packed my bags with every intention of only spending one year in Korea, after which I would pick up and move to a new country in a new corner of Asia. That plan didnt last long. Instead, I fell in love with my job at Mokpo Jeongmyeong Girls Middle School. The students were a lovable, rascally bunch. We tumbled over tangled tongue twisters; tore through the halls on madcap scavenger hunts; tossed frisbees over lunch breaks and after classes; and whaled on each other with foam swords and battle axes. (We also practiced English.)Eventually, one year turned into three. I finished my two-year Fulbright grant and spent one last year teaching English, cooking, and yoga at Aran Kindergartento a new bunch of lovable rascalsin Seoul. I left Korea more self-reliant, more adaptable, and even more invested in lifelong education. I intend to put these skills to good use.
