After finishing an incredible year of my life serving with AmeriCorps in West Palm Beach, I decided to continue my service in another part of the world.  I didn't know that my search would lead me literally to the other side of the world, but I landed in South Korea and I'm loving it.  Koreans desparately want to learn English and I desparately want to teach them.  EPIK (English Program in Korea) is the program I work for and they place hundreds of native English speakers in public and private schools throughout Korea every year.  I teach middle school and elementary school ESL, and I've also picked up some private tutoring and Adult ESL classes in the evenings.  Life in Korea is great, EPIK provides a fully furnished 'westeren style' apartment and the people here are extremely friendly and accomodating to foreigners.  Before coming here I didn't speak a single word of Korean and I was able to manage fine because English is such a major part of Korean culture.  Overall, next to AmeriCorps, this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.  I've been able to fully immerse myself in Korean culture and continue reaching and serving people to increase English literacy around the world!
