Getting Prepared
In less than one month the District 5100 GSE team will depart for South Korea. We, Alex, Don, Kari, Katherine, Kathy and I have been working very hard in preparation for this trip, most especially in learning enough Korean to enhance our learning experience, engage more in conversation with our hosts in District 3720 and to give our presentations in Korean. This is a great team of people, dedicated to getting the most out of this opportunity and in sharing goodwill a continent away. As we get closer to departure we are packing our bags, checking the weight, finalizing our gifts, practicing our speech, completing our taxes, finishing up loose ends at our jobs, and spending precious time with our family and pets.
As with many travel and adventures, the preparing seems long, once there the journey seems short, but the significance of both the preparation and the friendships will stay with us our lifetime. I am very excited to be a part of this team and this adventure.
