Becoming a teacher is an unplanned career choice for many. Aspiring to make a positive and lasting impact on younger generations is undoubtedly a noble and challenging venture. If I had to describe this profession, I would call it transformative. You evolve with every experience, especially when you embark on a career teaching in international schools. The ability to meet young people from all walks of life, professionally develop, travel, and save money for a precious mortgage are all privileged perks, but even the perks have their own set of challenges. Sometimes, you struggle with life as a foreigner, the distance from loved ones, or the dating scene. At other times, you have trouble navigating the sense of entitlement that can be a factor when serving an affluent community or adjusting to the ruthless for-profit nature of some poorly managed international schools. Nothing can prepare you for the joys or obstacles of life as an international schoolteacher. However, you can always have an idea of what to expect. That's exactly what Runaway Teacher is about.
