Hello!
Welcome to my humble abode of words and pictures. Please stay awhile and let these posts settle and ruminate in your thoughts.
In roughly one month, I will be moving to Budapest, Hungary to teach conversational English at a Hungarian high school called Trefort Agoston Kettannyelvu Fovarosi Gyakorlo Szakkozepiskola. (I can neither translate nor say that, yet) This high school is a trade school where I will teach students ranging from beginner to expert (vocab drills to American literature and culture). I don't truly know what the teaching will entail (that is what training is for, and the first weeks of classes), but I seek to learn more and improve my abilities so that I may connect with my students.
My ministry during my time in Budapest is relational. I hope to be an effective teacher so that I may build relationships with my students and be a positive influence in their lives. Besides Jack (Jack and Cindy's blog below) and Sharon, -- my teammates -- I will be the only Christian influence that my students will have. I must first be a teacher to my students, but it is my hope that through my teaching, I may plant a small seed that will grow over time.
