I knew I was always going to live in New York. I just wasn't quite sure how I was going to get there. All it took was another trip through the kitchen at Acadia to realize how easy it was. 2 months later, 2 days shy of 2007, I was in the city. My first job? A teaching job on the 68th floor of the Empire State Building. Acceptance into the New York City Teaching Fellows solidified it: I won't pretend that it wasn't one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Live it and love it...it's the New York way of life.
Life's adventures begin with the first step. I have been taking that mantra with me on this journey, and have realized in the process that it's also about taking a step back in order to take it all in.

New York City
I knew I was always going to live in New York. I just wasn't quite sure how I was going to get there. All it took was another trip through the kitchen at Acadia to realize how easy it was. 2 months later, 2 days shy of 2007, I was in the city. My first job? A teaching job on the 68th floor of the Empire State Building. Acceptance into the New York City Teaching Fellows solidified it: I won't pretend that it wasn't one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Live it and love it...it's the New York way of life.

After 4 exciting, yet exhausting years in the Big Apple, and having amassed enough debt for the sake of fun over the last 10 years, I ventured to the land of Kimchi for a year with a goal to get things back into equilibrium. I dare say that the initial indifference I had in coming has been offset by all of the cool experiences I've had while here. It's a working culture, for sure, but I still have had enough fun to balance it all out.
