What's this all about anyways?

Hello. I’m glad you’ve stumbled upon my ramblings of life in Pereira, Colombia. My first and foremost desire is to be quite frank with you, so let’s get real: I am no aspiring journalist. Maybe on those late nights/early mornings when insomnia overtakes my sleep I can picture myself as an up-and-coming writer and think up exceptional stories. However, without fail, sleep eventually surpasses this imagination and I wake up in the morning, the story has fled, and I settle once again in amateur blogging. With that disclosure, I will proceed.

July 28^th, 2012 I moved to Pereira, Colombia as a 9^th grade science/ 10^th grade biology teacher. This is my first teaching job and just happens to be in a Spanish-speaking world. I wish I could tell you what I was thinking when I accepted the offer.  I’m not certain I was – but I mean I had prayed it up and God opened doors, so heck – here I am. Also, I’m teaching at a bi-lingual school so my kiddos are expected to be taught in English and understand English so at least I have that on my side.

So back to what this blog is all about. Simply, I just want to retell moments, successes, failures, laughs, tears….really just life so that you can catch a glimpse of Colombia through my eyes. That’s all.  I’ll try and keep it positive and I hope you enjoy!
