Temporary TCKid Home

Taken from my blog, http://heyitsjohnnyc.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/the-duty-of-third-culture-kids-to-be-globalists/   One of the biggest factors that involved my decision to become a Globalist wasn’t just the sad state of the world due to globalization, but because of my experience as a Third Culture Kid.

As parents, we’re always trying to find new resources for better working with our kids. Teaching and learning with them, seems to be the key for the problem.

  If you are TCK currently living in South Korea, please contact Isabelle Min (tck#tck.or.kr), who is in charge of TCK community in South Korea.  Yes our membership is growing, but we’d love to see more – and I bet it’s good for you to meet fellow TCKs too!  

So I’m in transition again – straddling two completely different and separate worlds, and feeling like I’m falling off both of them.   Have you ever felt this way during a summer vacation ‘home’ – wherever home happens to be?   You just get back from a school year of teaching or studying in another […]
