The call to teaching was one I answered over 20 years ago in Johannesburg, South Africa, after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Education—majoring in Psychology, English and Education—followed by an Honours degree in Psychology. Leaving the comfort of home to become an international educator was not easy, but I wouldn’t trade the opportunities my journey has given me for anything.
