And so it has been decided....

I have had many people asking me recently what my plans for next year are. Up until recently, I have not been able to give an answer. So now, to let you all know: I will be moving back to the states next year. I have decided to go back to grad school to pursue my Masters in Communications. I have always dreamed of working as a journalist or in public relations, but that was put on hold while I had all of my fun, exciting adventures in Central America. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a teacher and will miss all of my 9th grade students greatly, but I am also anxiously awaiting this next opportunity. I will be working as a graduate assistant (meaning I will be teaching a 200-level course at the university) and I am curious as to how different it will be teaching a classroom full of college students who are invested in their education instead of 14-year-old kids who could care less about succeeding academically. My time in Honduras is not over yet and I am planning on enjoying as much Honduran culture as I can in the next 5 weeks before closing this chapter of my life!
