Change of plans

So lately I've been doing some reflecting on why I want to be an ESL teacher. I am a teacher to help students learn the language who need it, because they live in our country where it is essential. I want to help them to learn English so they can better themselves. 

I asked myself, why then am I planning on teaching in China? The only reasons I could think of were for myself. Rather selfish, right? 

If I want to be the teacher I've really always wanted to be, I simply can't teach abroad - not now. Maybe I'll go there someday. I don't want to make any sweeping comments and say I'll never teach there, but I know that is not what I'm set out to do.

Wish me luck on Libby's Job Hunt: Part 2!
