Sat alone in Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, the enormity of the adventure I’m about to embark on dawns upon me. Tonight i’ll be landing in Mexico, after a week of administration with SEP (Secretaría de Educación Pública) in the capital I’ll head to Valle de Bravo, a town 156km south west of Mexico City where I’ll work as an ELA (English Language Assistant) for the British Council until July 2011. Having said this, I feel it necessary to state that this is what I have pieced together from the information that has been thrown at me from various directions, however, worry you not, after a similar experience in Argentina I am very prepared to witness some major changes in the itinerary.
This time last year, I was traveling home from Argentina for the final year of my bachelors degree and I never would have thought that I’d be off again. Last November I quickly and frantically applied to be an ELA in Mexico hours before the application deadline. Back then it provided me with a “Plan B” if the job hunting didn’t work out...luckily it didn’t and so, “Plan B” turned into “Plan A”! Everything always happens for a reason, and I can’t wait to live what this experience is going to throw at me!
