My Travel Story

by: Alina Warner Start Date: Apr 10, 2014 - End Date: Aug 7, 2014
I do not know many of the details yet, but by the beginning of May I should know more. For now I know that it is a group of 10 of my fellow classmates (9 girls and 1 guy) and 1 male teacher from the Education Department and we will all be living in a house (the one with this view) together. We will be teaching in the local schools there for an intercultural experience, the student in these schools speak mostly Hawaiian, so that will be a challenge for us. I know that this will be a great opportunity for me to become a better teacher and to grow as an individual.  I will also be able to further my walk with God in this amazing paradise, and have the opportunity to build relationships with these amazing people and create new friendships along the way. Money is the only worry at this time, so I would like for you to take this time to think about whether you would want to make any donation to my travel expenses.  I would be so thankful for any help that anyone can give, even just prayers and good wishes.  

A couple quotes that explain some of my feelings about teaching:

"I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment." -Paul Wellstone

"The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits." -Mike Krzyzewski
