I went overseas first as a peace corps volunteer and was posted in Nepal, on the Nepal/Indian border. After three years in Nepal and India, I returned to the US to obtain a MA in International Relations and a MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at the United States International University in San Diego, California. I then taught English for 4 years in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and adopted a Pacific Islander baby. I accepted an English Teaching Fellows 1 year grant and trained Chinese teachers on the BA and MA level at Beijing Normal University. After spending a month in Thailand checking out the ESL/ELF job market. I moved to India for six months and traveled extensively and finally met in person my dear Sonam, a Tibetan refugee that I had been sponsoring for many years. After spending a couple of weeks in the Philippines, I returned to the US to teach English in Los Angeles, California, to adults for 3 and half years before moving to Roswell, New Mexico, where I have now resided for 8 years. I am planning to return to teach English to the Tibetan refugees, either in Nepal or India. I volunteered over 200 hours last year at the Roswell Literacy Council to keep my teaching skills fresh. I can hardly wait to return to India and Nepal and feel at home again. Any suggestions, thoughts, or concerns from you will be welcome.
