There must be thousands of quotes and clichés about journeys, I found one in particular that spoke directly to me: “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” – or in my case 4,528 miles (7300 km.) and so begins my journey to Budapest, Hungary.
In August, when I was asked to join this group of distinguished teachers -I could not have been more honored or more terrified. I began asking questions almost immediately: What do American teens and Hungarian teens have in common? How will I get past the language barrier? What if I am ineffective? What if they cannot relate to the topics?
Tomorrow, I will have the opportunity to have many of my questions answered, but there is no question in my mind that I was meant to take this journey.
