Well I survived the first 7 days of school! Although it's only been 7 days, it feels so much more longer. I'm officially off for 9 days due to the celebration of Eid Mubarak. I'm going to take this time to regroup and hopefully visit other emirates of the UAE. Yesterday, I attended church with another teacher who lives in my building. We work for the same company but different schools. Anyway, I enjoyed the services, it was well needed. I have good and bad days here. It's a mixture of missing home, teaching a new grade, and just getting use to how things are run here.
If I'm being all the way honest, I was contemplating coming home during the winter break and never returning. I've heard that several families have already returned home for a number of reasons and I can totally understand. Yet, I was reminded that I prayed for this opportunity and He granted my request. Things won't always run smoothly but it doesn't mean I need to throw in the towel. I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity and I promise to make the best of it.
Until Next Time
