Teaching in Athens, Greece

Submitted by Julia Ewing on the 2018 spring semester program in Athens, Greece sponsored by the College of Education & Human Development…

We’ve made it through week three!  We were all sick, so that’s disgusting.  “Welcome to being a teacher!” is the phrase I keep hearing.  Despite being sick, life goes on. At the beginning of the week, we all submitted PPAT part 2, which probably means nothing to you.  To put the PPAT in layman’s terms it is a practical assessment that we have to take for teacher certification in the State of Delaware.  It is a lot of work, so submitting part 2 is an accomplishment!

Last weekend, I found an authentic street food place that serves gyros.  It has shredded meat, tomatoes, onions, french fries and tatziki on a warm pita.  Delicious! On Wednesday, I stopped there on my way home from school and got it again because it is so good!

It’s crazy to think that this program is already 1/4 of the way over!  I’m certainly counting the days until spring break!
