If your not green and growing. Your ripe and rottening

Fresh off a wonderful 25th Birthday which marked my second Birthday in South Korea. The celebration started on SATURDAY with a Thanksgiving Meal my Nuna (the name you would call an older sister or someone close to you that's an older female) prepared! It made me and my friends all feel at home! We feasted on the foods that bring us happiness around this time of the year! But to be honest I couldn't stop thinking about friends that have passed away so young. I felt really blessed that God allowed me to see another Birthday. I also prayed for the families that lost love ones at a young age. I also couldn't help but think about my old college neighbor who passed away a year after we graduated. He drowned while swimming in Costa Rica where he was caught in a riptide. He was only 22. It just made me realize how blessed I am to be in Korea and in good health. My prayers go out to the GARBER family may God bring you peace.

Ok so where to begin? I don't even no what to write. Honestly I needed some motivation to get back on my blog game! I realize how important it is for those who are debating about teaching in Korea. I love blogs! It's honestly how I made the leap! When I decided to come after I graduated in 08 I did research and read as many blogs as possible! I relied on the feedback of others and what I read to make my decision! Recently I met a fellow ESL TEACHER in SEOUL, her blog has rejuvenated my thoughts and desire to express how Life is here the way I see it! I encourage anyone that is reading or debating teaching English in Korea to check out http://whitneybutler.wordpress.com/2010/09/ There are some people that come to Korea bash the culture,food, and way of life! I can't stand this! You can't come to another country and bring your way of life and get frustrated when things don't go as you are used too! To me that is apart of the learning process and adventure! I feel once one loses that desire or zest. It's time for them to do something else. As for me I am still learning and embracing the culture everyday. So once again check out http://whitneybutler.wordpress.com/2010/09/ blog. My Bro told me "If your not Green and Growing Your Ripe and Rottening." Until next time. Be blessed people. ANNYONG
