Count Down to China

July 27th 2011
It was my last day in Houston -a typical hot and humid summer day. After about two years of teaching special education there, I am about to embark on a new adventure.  I accepted a position to teach special education and intensive English in Chengdu, China. Excitement and curiosity of my new adventure is sinking in as my departure date creeps up. I am now at my parents house in Dallas for the "in between" time.  I am pretty much set to leave - I have packed two large suit cases and a carry on. There is nothing better to me then to be able to work with students and travel. I believe it will offer an unique perspective to teaching and students with special needs. I look forward to this new chapter in my life.
