While I miss everyone there and remember them all the time, I have been particularly nostalgic lately since it was a year ago that the adventure began. I simply looked at it as an amazing opportunity to get abroad again and to teach. Who knew that I would end up in the middle of history being made and what is now being referred to as the Arab Spring. As the anniversary of political unrest approaches, I simply try and remain positive and hope and pray that there is some sort of compromise and peace reached. Of course as someone who lived in Jerusalem for nine years, I tend to understand (sadly) that concept is very far fetched and out of reach. Although I keep hoping.
Anyway, I am pretty much writing this entry to remind myself what an amazing time I had starting a year ago. I apologize if what I am writing is a bit repetitive, but get over it :) Seriously, I do thank everyone who reads my blog. This entry is brief, but important to me because I want to let everyone in Bahrain know how much I miss them and still to this day remember the impact that they had in/on my life. Thank you to my friends and students in Bahrain. I have no idea what the future holds, but as I continue looking for a teaching job, I can only hope that I am blessed with such amazing co-workers and students. Thank you.
