My Chat about Travel With My Fellow NYC Writing Project Colleague.
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: got your chat invite
- 12: 52 PM ok
- me: Aileen, Traveling to other countries has had such a profound influence on my life and how I view the world. Going to Egypt was very spiritual for me
- Have you ever been any where that has left that kind of impact?
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: Well, the last place I went to was Puerto Rico and I was 10 years old at the time.
- It was also the only time I've traveled. I don't get out much..LOL
- 12: 55 PM But it did have a profound influence because the memory is burned in my mind from the excitement of meeting extended family
- 5 minutes
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: Julia, r u still there sweetie?
- me: I'm back! I would love to go to Puerto Rico. You have get back to PR too. Take the whole family. Go find those roots!
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: I agree. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I definitely need to take my son at some point.
- I'm so happy for you about going to Egypt.
- me: Also, you can write for a grant next year through Fund For Teachers and make it a way to bring back information from a school in PR that uses technology. They give up to $5,000 per individual. I went to Egypt with a Social Studies Teacher last summer "free".
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: Actually, I'll have this chat saved and look more into that grant
- me: Aileen as long as you can show the necessity of the travel which ofcourse will be for your students and write the grant geared to curriculum. Possibly include a bilingual aspect.
- Karen are you there??
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: Karen stepped out. she'll brb
- 1: 09 PM you'd actually have to ask her in the window you're chatting with her
- I was just able to tell you because she was sitting right next to me...lol
- 1: 10 PM But in reference to traveling.
- 1: 11 PM that is something that I need to work on to really build my confidence level
- that would be a real ego booster for me.
- me: If find that traveling especially in a educational tour type package exposes me to more than just the people, places and things of the Bronx
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: exactly
- me: Every summer I try to go somewhere mystical or even just a place I want to know more about
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: its definitely a way to enrich your life
- me: Aileen thanks so much for your help I think I am going to copy and paste now!
- iloveangel2008@gmail.com: LOL Your welcome sweetness.
