I dreamed it! I breathed it! Now I'm living it
I dreamed it, I breathed it, Now I’m living it!
I dreamed about living in Abu Dhabi. What it would be like? Would I love it!? Would I miss home!? Would I meet new friends!?
ITS ALLLLL THAT SHIT AND MORE!!!!!!
I'm only a month in but I love it!!! I know this is the honeymoon stage, I hope it never ends! So much has happened in the last month and life has moved so fast!!!
July 19, 2016 I received an email from my future employer.
It gave me 48 hours to get my shit together and get TF out of America like the Israelites leaving Egypt.
When I embarked on my journey to working in the Middle East everything was easy up to this point, when I had to choose between staying or leaving.
I was tired of teaching in VA, paying rent that increased every year and not traveling the world. I knew moving to the middle east would change all of that!
I Immediately googled everything I could find on teaching in UAE. I found several recruiting agencies offering fabulous packages to teachers who simply wanted a change in their career. I also found support in the facebook groups dedicated to current and prospective teachers in UAE.
I applied to a private school and had a phone interview but no call back. I refused to give up on my dreams and applied to the public sector for schools in Abu Dhabi. I was offered a second interview, I took a long weekend from my current teaching job at the time in Richmond, VA and drove the 5 hours to NYC.
What do I love most!?
The people!! I'm just soaking up everybody I've met, from my students to the taxi drivers. I just want to know everything about everybody, the good and the bad!!! I want to know traditions, cultures, opinions and all things food! I have soo many stories and I've neglected to share them.
Heres a list of the highlights of my first couple of months...
Chocolate Zadddddy who turned out to be a midget liar
Perfect beards EVERYWHERE, what dreams are made of?
I can be sexy and only show minimal skin?! I've never felt soo feminine and gorgeous!
Zane is as close as I can get to porn.
Deportation is real and not what my pockets are made of.
I'm not mixed! Stop asking me................................................................FUCK!
Where are all the camels!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Seriously!? Am I falling in love with teaching!?!? Once again.. Who TF do I think I am!?! A teacher!!?!?!!
