End of Year Fun

Currently enjoying: Ethiopian coffee in Pennsylvania- a mix of two worlds :) 

The last week of school is jam-packed with lots of events- final chapel, graduation, dinner, farewells. In spite of it all, we, the teachers of Bingham Academy still found a way to have some fun. Being inspired by a fellow school (seen on YouTube), we decided to fool our students into thinking they were being interviewed about the school year. Instead, they were surprised with this video at the final chapel.

Thanks to all the teachers for being good sports and the students for being so oblivious :D

Broads Abroad

Currently enjoying: the last week of school! 

A couple of weeks ago, I had an amazing opportunity to speak about third culture kids and transition at Broads Abroad, a group for expatriate women in Addis.

The presentation included benefits and challenges of TCKs, how to deal with transition, and preparing your TCK for college. 

I had the privilege to work with Chris Pearson, a fellow TCK, who is the older brother of one of my former classmates and two of my current students. 

I appreciated the chance to share with such a sphere of influence as families of diplomats, doctors, and world-changers were represented. It was wonderful to experience a new group of people that are disconnected from the Bingham bubble.
