A few entries that we would like to highlight:<\/p>\n

the American School of Tampico\u2014my new home in mexico!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHere is my beautiful school!!!!:) It sits on over 33 acres of land\u2026Here is my classroom from the outside (the one with the circle window)\u2026Here are pictures from the outside and inside of the classroom\u2026Here are the lovely stairs up to my class (before these there are 2 other flights! haha)\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

It would be awesome if all international school teachers took as many photos of their campus to share with everyone.\u00a0 It is important and very helpful to know exactly what the school looks like before you sign the contract to work there. Thanks for sharing pictures of the The American School of Tampico<\/a> campus!

mi apartemento en Tampico<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy apartment is wonderful! The school provides it and they were so helpful, already had telephone hooked up, a little food and drinks in the fridge, and everything we needed set up!:) I\u2019m so glad I\u2019m here\u2026Here is my roomies room- Her name is Robyn. We met her and her mom (Melissa) tonight..so far seems great!\u2026There are 2 bedrooms (with AC) with bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, a large study room, a laundry room, and another room with bathroom that is in the back of the place\u2014it\u2019s all soooo big!!!\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

What a nervous situation\u2026arriving at a new, foreign country and finally seeing the apartment that you will be living in.\u00a0 Luckily for this educator, it turned out really well.\u00a0 It is definitely a relief after having seen your new place, and then get started with making it your new \u201chome\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, meeting your new roommate can also be a bit nerve-wracking.\u00a0 But you never know, the person just might turn out to a really good friend of yours.\u00a0 What a nice surprise too when you take notice of the nice, big size of your new apartment.\u00a0 Sometimes international school teachers get lucky when they are living in a city where their benefits package or salary affords them the opportunity to live a bigger apartment than what they are used to.

a day\/night at the beach\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI went to the beach for the first time last Saturday here in Tampico! It was great. I stuck my toes in and waded up to my ankles, but didn\u2019t swim yet. The foreign staff from school went for a birthday barbeque for Michael\u2014he\u2019s our librarian. There was great food, a campfire, fun people, and sand, water, and sun\u2014-all in all it was a beautiful day and a fun time:)\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

It is great to take in all the new places that you can go to in your new city, especially if your new city is on the coast of an ocean so that you can enjoy its beaches.\u00a0 Some international school teachers are very luckily indeed!\u00a0 It is also important to say yes to any opportunities to go out with the school staff.\u00a0 Being open to exploring the city and to get to know the staff better are two important things to try and accomplish your first few months working at your new school.
