I not only chose to live abroad, but to teach abroad again because I genuinely enjoy working with students, especially with the youth. Despite the fact that I am in the teaching position, I feel like I am learning just as much, if not more, from my students. It serves as a reminder of how fulfilling it is to work with students as there is something new to be learned every day, and that you do create an impact – be it big or small – in their lives. Their liveliness and energy encourage me to do more, and to do better for them. Teacher Joyce
