Beginning Stages of the Fulbright Scholarship

As many of you have heard already, I applied for the English Teaching Assistant Fulbright Scholarship for South Korea and I was accepted!! I got the letter on March 27th :)

Today I received a packet of information about some of the logistics of my Scholarship. I will be in South Korea from July 5th 2012 until July 13th 2013. I have never been out of the country for such a long time and this is really going to be a great experience.

My first 6 weeks will be spent in Goesan, Chungcheongbuk-do (about 3 hours south east of Seoul, South Korea's capitol). My time there will be orientation and training, we will learn the language, culture and teaching strategies. After that 6 weeks, I will be placed in a school somewhere other than Seoul. We will not know where our placements are before arriving in South Korea. That is about all the information I have for everyone right now, but I will keep you updated!!
