June and July 2019. Months –
Hello and GoodBye July and very soon Bye Bye summer! Life has been very good and also very busy. Lets look at the past two months ….
June: June was super full and busy. SUPER FULL and SUPER BUSY! I have never experienced a graduation like I did at Shanghai HD Bilingual School! Never have I ever been to a kindergarten graduation as detailed, intricate, full, and looooooooong as the Shanghai HD Kindergarten Graduation I experienced this year. If nothing else, it was nothing short of amazing. Out students did a magnificent job, and I don’t just say this because they are our students, they really did do a wonderful job!
Teachers ended the year with a 1/2 day of a staff BBQ and everyone headed off for summer travels. I have had the same schedule for pretty much all of my life. There was a short period where I worked in the summer because I was teaching/working at a transitional living facility so we had students all year long, so I traveled during the year, outside of that I have been a student or a teacher all year and enjoyed summers off. This summer was packed. Today is August 1 and summer is slowly winding down. I am thankful for all of the experiences and travels I have had.
..A few detailed posts are to come.
Here are a few pictures from graduation ….
July: I am looking forward to sharing about the below experiences
- TYUT – University Instructor for two weeks (Shanxi Province)
- Trip to Seoul with my friend Kim
- Trip to Japan with friends from Shanghai
SO many great things happened in July! I have learned so much about myself this year but definitely this summer. If nothing else ….
- Anything is possible. If you really want it -No is not an option. Be realistic about how you can achieve your goals.
- When life throws you lemons. You can make lemonade and take on any challenge thrown your way. Have a cold refreshing drink while checking off some major items from your life list.
- Changing World isn’t easy, but one person really can change the world. Someone is always watching your example. Be true to who you are no matter what.
- Sometimes what you think is hard, is well, yes really hard – doesn’t mean you can’t do it! Go for it. Push yourself. You can do it.
