So it's been awhile since I've been a student. Six years to be exact. There were times I loved it and there were times I despised it, and wished for the day I would be done.
We've been in Turkey now for three months, and I'm learning that I'm a student again. A student of culture. A student of language. A student of myself.
To be a student requires you to be
disciplined, attentive, proactive, open to new ideas, and to step out of
your comfort zone daily. I can't say that being a student again is easy, or that I love it, but it's what I am right now.
To give you a glimpse into our lives
here, I thought I would start a series called "Observation." As I become
a student again and observe the ways of this life around me, I want to
share what I learn from my observations.
I hope you enjoy!
