So i'm in Teacher's College and in April there are two weeks where we aren't in class. The first week we are to be out in the community expereincing different types of teaching (ie.. i'm a highschool teacher but i could go observe an elementary school, preschool, schooling in a hospital) OR... get this... go to the Dominican Republic and do service learning. For those of you that don't know service learning is helping out while learning... so i will be going to an orphanage in Monte Cristi Dominican Republic and teaching the students there to speak English!!!! If you are interested in looking here is the website.

I was fortunate enough to do a similar expereince in Grade 10 in Mexico. We had to apply and luckily only 30 applied (only 35 can go!) I am just SO excited (mind you when the time comes to leave i'm going to be a mess having to leave my Layla... more on that in the new year
)
Ok thanks for listening!
