Janie - ESL Teacher Extraordinaire


Last Friday was special for me as I got to see a good friend and former student. Janie currently lives in Beijing teaching English language at the university level. She is doing so well. I'm so proud of this woman. After her husband passed away, she was left with very little and decided that she had to start anew. Janie moved to Seattle where she found a job at the college, and eventually enrolled as a student. Upon graduation, Janie left for China to be an English language teacher. She truly has come far, overcoming grief, and what seemed like insurmontable debt. But here she is in her fifties, doing what she loves.
