EDUCATIONAL GREATNESS
I have had a good education throughout my school years, but nothing in comparison to my two months abroad. She taught me a history that only someone with passion, boundaries and facts can explain in such a short period of time. Her name is Aika! Her stature, her elegance, her poise, all things that make her educational greatness. She conducted her lessons with such emotions, as if she were part of the lesson or scene. Her words were would touch your soul and the stories left you wanting more. At times there were tears and very passionate debates.
The diversity of her students only added insight and emotion, to an already emotional and difficult story. To teach such a history of violence, deprivation and abuse can only be understood with an open heart and an open mind. And can only be told by someone who carries both characteristics.
Thank you CIEE staff!! For each of you have made me a different person. Aika, thank you for your passion to teach!
