It's almost here! I will be leaving for the Ukraine in a week. The days have flown by so quickly and I still have so much to do! For those of you who do not know, I will be going to Kiev, Ukraine from September until December. I will be teaching english in a elementary school in Kiev to children from the ages of 3 to about 15 or 16. I am so excited to get to work with little kids in a different country. It will definitely be a challenge, but also a wonderful adventure that I will remember for a lifetime. I am so excited to experience a new culture and learn the language. I will be living with a host family that I hope will be able to show me the ways of life in Kiev so I might be able to fit in. I will be posting on this blog while I am there as a way to keep a journal and also share my experiences with all of you back home. As the day draws closer and closer I get more nervous, but I am ready to take on this new challenge in my life. Wish me luck!
