A few weeks ago, I finished the last of my online TEFL course. I've got all my certificates for the core content, and grammar, plus specialist modules in teaching young learners, business English, large classes and one to one lessons.
I haven't been this excited about a qualification since I claimed my degree exactly 3 years ago. This is truly the catalyst that will put all my dreams of living abroad into action.
With only the weekend classes of the course left, we will soon be able to start applying for jobs and planning our wish list of places to see whilst we are travelling.
What's more, the idea is catching on! All around us our family and friends are talking about 'making the most of the time we have together' and the coming events we are going miss.
Each time this brings a tear to me eye and a pang of guilt to my heart, but as soon as I'm back in my office on a Monday morning I remember why this change is so important.
Our families and friends will still be here when we get back and if anything we are seeing more of everyone and making a bigger effort because pretty soon, we will be gone.
So hears to changing the sails, and being the change I want to be. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bigger every day!
