Egyptian Kids

Egyptian Kids

I love Egypt! I arrived August 16th, 2018. I never knew how amazing it would be to be here.

The day I decided to come to Egypt everything fell into place. It was my time to finally start my journey of travel. I would finally experience another world and culture. 

However, that meant leaving my beautiful daughter (college age) behind but I knew she was in good hands; studying at one of the best universities in California. She was happily making her life there, doing what she loves, film and theatre. I knew it was okay to leave that I had her blessing.

I felt it was fate. The school that I was going to work for, took very good care of me. I had amazing benefits and salary was decent. I felt like I finally have a great team to work with and that I was apart of something great.

I taught for 22 wonderful little people. I love each one of them like they are my own. The best time of the day was morning when my kids saw me and came running down the hall to give me lots of hugs! I just adored each one of them and I felt so honored to be their teacher.

I found teaching later in my life, but so thankful I found it. It has been a very fulfilling job.  It gives me the variety I need to keep my interest in a job and always enjoyed working with people, especially helping them. So, why not little people. I love that I have touched their lives and their families. 

Egyptian children are very sweet. I love their big imaginations and innocence. I enjoy watching young children play football on the free streets and neighbourhoods. I feel the kids, can enjoy the freedom of being a kid. 

**Before I moved to Egypt, I was teaching ESL to Chinese children.  These kids were not allowed to have the freedom to play much. Their parents had them constantly busy with school,  after school and extracurricular activities (like tennis, violin or English lessons).  Playing freely was not an option for these kids. It saddened me how, they were not allowed or had the freedom to be creative.
