Thankful in Quito
Things
are going well here in Ecuador, and this Thanksigiving I have a lot to be
thankful for (even if I had to work today, booooo).
1. My roommate Laura, who has made my experience in Quito a million times better than it would have been on my own.
2. An
amazing job at an international school in Quito. I have heard horror stories
about other international schools here in Ecuador and around the world, and I
gotta say, I have it pretty lucky here. My school is supportive and positive
and a generally stress free place to work. Plus, I love teaching! My students
rock!
3. My ability to travel. Thank goodness I have the means to explore the world. This year I went to Israel and Colombia. Next year I am going to London and Amsterdam, and who knows where else. Also, I am going to the cloud forest tomorrow!
4. A supportive family. I had this discussion last week with some friends. My family is nothing but supportive of my crazy life choices. I don’t know what I would do in some close-minded, women-hating, bible-thumping, homophobic, family.
5. My curiosity. I am learning Spanish and always trying to take in more of this culture and grow as a human being.
