My Teaching Has Come to an End

            Last month marked the end of my two years as a teacher here in Madagascar; at least here at the Lycee Vondrozo.  I have taught 574 students, eight classes (yea that’s a lot of students per class), in the two years that I have taught here.  It has been an experience that I will never forget.  It was rewarding in so many ways, but it was far from easy; many of the best experiences in life seldom are.  Although I most likely will never teach again here in Vondrozo I know that my teaching career is doubtlessly far from over and the experience gained and the many things that I have learned here will
help me greatly in the future endeavors.  (Here are some links to some of my older blog posts about my teaching experience: A Different School Culture, New School Year, The First Exam, The Proclamation!, Second Proclamation, Assembly, Student Week, School Week).
