STUDENT TEACHER PERSPECTIVE

• After I was hired at my school, the
  administrators told me that they were looking for
  someone with diversity and who was not afraid of
  change. Having taught in London, they saw me
  as a person who does not do the ordinary. It
  is a fact that my international student teaching
  experience is what clinched my position.

11
STUDENT TEACHER PERSPECTIVE

• - I am constantly grateful for the doors that
  have opened and the conversations that have
  arisen over my experiences in London
• - I was grateful for the opportunity to learn
  about diversity, witnessing first hand people in
  different cultures struggling with the same basic
  human challenges.
