Teaching in Ethiopia can be a life-changing experience that goes beyond just a job. It's a chance to immerse myself in a vibrant culture, connect with amazing people, and grow in ways I might not have imagined. On a personal level, this adventure will make me more adaptable and resilient. I'll learn to navigate new challenges, both in the classroom and in daily life, which can be incredibly valuable in any career. I would name a difference in the Ethiopian community by providing quality education to my students and empower them with knowledge and skills that can significantly impact their future prospects. This, in turn, can contribute to the development of the community. My passion for this project likely stems from a combination of personal values, interests, and motivation. I have a strong interest in Ethiopian culture, history, or language. Teaching there will provide a unique opportunity to immerse myself in this culture and share my own. I have researched the educational challenges in Ethiopia and felt a strong desire to contribute to improving access to quality education. Knowing that im teaching can have a positive impact on the lives of Ethiopian students, helping them access education and pursue brighter futures, could be deeply fulfilling, which would make this venture truly meaningful for me.
