Advice

It's a lot of hours and a lot of work. This job is basically a 24/7 job however the experience and mental toughness you gain from it is worth it. You work with a variety of people from all around the world, from your students to your coworkers you are immersed in so many different cultures in seven weeks. The kids you work will look up to you and it's an incredible feeling to know that you have impacted their future in just a short amount of time.
