![]() Why did you decide to get TEFL certified and choose International TEFL Academy? I had to have their blessing which took some convincing on my end. Once they knew my mind was set, they couldn't do anything but support me. My family, however, didn't want me to go at first. I had went away to school, lived in another city for four months, and had written a lot about my experience visiting my family's country of Eritrea in the summer of 2014. What did your friends and family think about you moving and teaching abroad?įriends were shocked, but they weren't surprised for the most part. ![]() Besides that, my only concerns were when I'd leave and how my family would progress in my physical absence. I didn't know where I'd live or how I would find an important/room. What were some of your concerns before teaching abroad? I wanted to help others learn the business language of the world and see the world myself. In African cultures, helping one another is important. I believe knowing about the uniqueness of my heritage coupled with the diversity of New York City (where I grew up) helped me be accepting of others who are both similar and different. We eat injera, attend Orthodox church services, and speak to/understand Tigrinya-our family language. However, my parents (both immigrants from Eritrea) did their best to make sure that I knew about their culture. My first international trip happened in 1992, at the age of 8 months.
