I admit I was shocked when I moved to the USA to live and teach.Many of the children (and,dare I say it,adults) did not even know where Australia was.The questions they asked seemed ridiculous,but to them it was their first encounter with a “foreign alien”,so how were they to know any difference?

The program I taught in the States was created based on the need for American students to develop global awareness.My role was,not just to teach,but to expose my students to Australian culture.

Every year we held an Australian exhibition; the rest of the school would visit and we’d teach Australian games and slang words.They tried Australian food —seeing their reactions to eating vegemite(蔬菜酱) was worth all the hard work!

Because of this experience,my principal set up a global awareness program once I left.Each year the school chooses a country to study.They learn all about the culture and finish the year off with an exhibition the children have created.Now the children are excited and passionate about learning.

Through my stories of travel,I noticed dreams began to form in my students.One girl was determined to go to college and then travel the world after graduating,another had the thirst for spending time with the Masai warriors in Africa,and many were adamant(坚定的) they would visit me in the “Land Down Under”.I still speak to many of them via the wonderful telecommunications available to us all today.
