Back in time 2012-2013

 

Feeling nostalgic today ... for those visiting and perhaps, for my homesick future self, here is short journey of my third and final year at B-L. It has been a ride.



 Three years passed in a blur.

 My final class 2012-2013

 Best staff a teacher could ask for.

 Felt rewarding to renew my provisional certificate to a standard certificate after three years of hard work.

 Authentication process of degrees for UAE work visa begins at local and state level.

 A female student invited me to her karate graduation in May.

 Rising out of the ashes, baby. Lots of love and respect for Phoenix (the city & bird).

 FBI fingerprint clearance (I think we all breathed a sigh of relief when this one came back ;)) 

 My sweet after school tutoring group.

 This was the day. I got my letter of offer via e-mail. Couldn't believe it.

 Edgemont Ave. My home.

 Phoenix Hilton. Where in-person interviews with ADEC (Abu Dhabi Education Council) were held. March 18, 2013.

 My young gentlemen. Phoenix Science Museum field trip. Spring 2013.

 Curious @ Phoenix Science Museum field trip

 This is one of my favorite cards I've ever received from a student. I bit my lip when I read it, turned around and saw the author beaming. Gave her a hug. What else can you do?

 My home. Downtown Phoenix.

 I know you're not suppose to have favorites as a teacher. But I do. This little guy is one of them.

 One of the many reasons I fell in love with my city -- random graffiti on buildings all over town. "Find Your Direction."
