Mesmerizing Moments!




Just in this hall, where till last week 19 flags were showing 

the English teaching potentialities of their 

representatives, their charismas , their energetic presence, 

their funny ideas, their ellegant attires, their nobles hearts, 

their loyal friendship, and their different personalities left in 

this hall a special energy.

Now , If you walk for this part of the Education Building can 

see that there is a lack of any element, not only the flags, the 

shinning and radiant laughs of many TEA2017 participants.

The special sofa shows that aspecial friends with its special

This sofa is waiting for him...Definitely, I can say that this 

team Bowling Green 2017  were AWESOMES! This hall is not

 the same without you! A big poster with our faces mut be 

stick here too.

Now, Only 2 flags are here, One American flag, who showed 

us, many important things during our Journey, the 

importance of  respect and treat to Americans, its culture, its 

sports fans, what means to get a citizen in U.S.A.,and how

GOOD BYE INCREDIBLE BOWLING GREEN

Today Bowling Green wanted to say bye ,bye to all TEA FELLOWS 2017,with a White Long 

Carpet, that, covered all, BGSU. 

It has being a sad day to say bye to our friends, full warm hugs, kisses, hands shaked, tears in 

our eyes, gift shared, words from last moments ,reflections to take home,heart broken, unforgettable 

friendships, hidden adventures to tell, awesome adventures to shared, 

Heavy luggages stand on the living room, scales and vacuum cleaners jumping from bedroom to 

bedroom and magic bags doing miracles on different luggages. 

It has being a time to live multiple experiences, it is incredible to remind my last day in the embassy of 

my country, a flight ticket was in my hands to go to meet the Education System  in U.S.A, but  I 

think, that ticket was wrong, because, my ticket was full of  journeys to different continents, I had the 

opportunity to Visit Asia Continent: Nepal; Bangladesh and India, Fnatastic Countries with wonderful
histories,  hardworker populations, with women leaders with big responsiblities, veggie most of them,

religious similarities, swamis, bhudas, babas, with a strong teaching compromise with their students

and colleagues, They  taught us Cutombo meaning, they were an example for me, and my new 

unforgtetable brothers.


Uzbekistan: a respectful country, closed yet to many changes , for example 

LGBT community, and a country where women are just starting to develop themselves with  

independence.A nice english teacher so smart came to  offer us her best dailly adventures .

A Beautiful  Woman from Jordan came to show her country habits, music,

 behaviour, religious, and analysis of her neihboor countries problem.

Mongolia, population love to eat chocolates when they are stress, and taste different kind of fruits.

Really smart people with an antique history and fantastic culture.my cute English Teacher.

Vitnam : a unique , orignal , outgoing, smart, well prepared an english teacher that  came to Bowling green with their particular caps to show us, how Vietnam has growth and be interested in offer the best of them, to the world with their performance, so proud of you my fancy english teacher.

With that Ticket I visited Sudamerica too, Nicaragua with its volcanos, and humble  

population, people , that assume challenges to  grow, a country that, don´t have a high level in its 

economy  do their best effort to grow, and their loves to drink coca to control de nervous moments, and 

The Trone Virgen protects all of them.  Honduras the strongest of their citizens, this country loves to 

dance la punta, and one its typical dance is la Punta, I loved to dance la Sopa de Caracol and  its typical  

food Baleadas,  and tortillas. Nowadays they are opening their chapters about gender 


equity and unity.

Colombia and Uruguay english teachers offered to this program a combination of 

ellegance and joyful, smart attitude, and proactive participation.Uruguay gave us an 

example of acceptance of LGBT community in her country, and Colombia, how the women 

empowerment is one priority. Women Beautiful inside and outside, showed what 

friendship  really means. 

This Ticket let me go  to Europe  Northern, exactly to Estonia:and I saw a social , friendly 

community gender responsible english teacher, who only this last day said: This is really 

snow day! Russian lanuage you can hear and this country is an example to others 

countries in education.

I had the opportunity to visit many countries from Africa, some of them

native language is french: Tunisia, Ghana,  Cameroon, Zimbawe, Coste D´Ívore, 


Burkina Faso, and Senegal. Drums are point in common about music. Tunisia teacher 



with revolutionary   ideas, personality and open mind to be in front all issues of  



education. Cameroon inflexible teacher learning the meaning of flexibility and multicultural


differences,and gender equity special in women.Not only good footballers are in Cameroon.

Zimbawe: loyal to  her principles and hardworker teacher.Burkna Faso 

her face didn´t say to you the last word,but  they really know  what is happening,excellent

pronunciation and analisys. Senegal a queen from this country came to USA to show us the beauty of

its women, a finest blacky woman ,and englsh teacher wth a closed society, but clear about how

english anguage learning is happening in her country,

Cost´DÍvory an english teacher example of ellegance and lover of her country , clear convitions that

she is a representant of her country in U.S.A. With a record teaching more than50 students in class was

my best example as a Multitask teacher. Prudish representant of Coconut seed land.Ghana: a smiling 


teacher came to show us what ghana is, believe and spread.

My final speech



 TEA 2017

Is it a group? or Is it  a team? , No it is  an English Teacher Super Team.
What country is it come from?. It is a multinationality country group, that ,in Bowling Green settled down.
Is it big or it is Small?, It is an extremely big team, not in number, but yes in their capabilities, abilities, feelings, habits, behaviors, and love for their profession, because they are teachers leading changes in their own class, classrooms, community, and country too.
What is its best description? It is not easy an unique description, but I´ll try one, A huge group, with cultural differences, different religious points of view, with different colors in their skins and their  flags, different tastes in their food, different styles in their clothes, different conceptions of the life.
What is their favorite hobby? It is not an easy question to answer, but I´ll try, some of them love shopping, other love to sleep, but not to walk, one of them love to swim, drink starkbucks coffees, and run, other only to eat chocolate, in spite of Doctor before to come say NO. There is one that love to prepare noddles for breakfast, and use fashion caps, two of them love to chat, discuss, have fun, and long walks around ,in spite of ,in their country only walk from  the  kitchen to the living room, A dancer is in the team too, a woman, who, loves to listen  to Jazz and Cook. There are two women, who don´t talk too much , but they are excellent African dancers, there is one that love take selfish photo, a man from Nepal loves to take pictures. There is a cute model, that, came here with the hope to see her favorite actor, Jean Claude Van Dale, she is looking for him, and sometimes she has lost looking for him. There is a Sudamerican teacher that loves to eat fruits , specially grapes. There is one teacher, that, loves to shop intimate clothes. A teacher from zimbawe, with special right words, in special right moments. there is one special strong man, an example to all teachers around the world to say, yes WE CAN, that he said, is the king, OF COURSE HE IS, TAMBE IS OUR EXAMPLE OF KING!  There is one that create a Cutombo in Bowling green, and loves to eat with his hands. There is one that loves the Rayban glasses, and he is looking for the best pilot glass, there is one busy , she looks like a grumpy teacher, and that is addict to the technology.
Woao!, great differences, it is not easy to  manage,  Who´s their principal  leader to guide them?
Really, this is a person who has the capability to use their  wisdom words, their humble and noble attitude to support any kind of problem, a strong voice to stablish the rules, a huge sight to say you can, and I AM HERE, the hearth to be confident, the ability to manage budgets, multi tasking characteristics, a great collaborative family to give us their love and attention as our own family too, A strong support  hand helper assistants and student team, a watch with more than 24 hours, a box of energy pills, that, she only knows the name, with a daily agend full of amazing activities for each hour,  warm hugs for cold or homesick days. This is a woman, that, there are not many words to describe, because my dictionary doesn´t have to describe here. Thanks Dr. Sharoon to be our EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP.
Where is this TEA GROUP SETTLE DOWN?
 Well, it is easy and short to describe the place, we are in BG university a big university, with many places to help us to be comfortable, like our own universities, cafeterias that are our favorites places to eat, a bookstore called union, that offered us BGSU souvenirs, a Giant complete  library, auditory to enjoy plays, gym, swimming pool, and  long sidewalks to enjoy the snow, multiple activities daily , weekly to enjoy, and  that it  has a precious treasure, excellent professionals to teach us many topics, most of them new for us, other to be reinforced, but pretty important for all of us , like language arts, motivation, gender, equity and justice, communicative language techniques, discourse analysis, critical thinking, action research, and the best techniques in technology, with an excellent team, who has support us in any doubts till late night hours.
Where is this university located?
 In Ohio, a state, that has showed all of us that It is INCREDIBLE OHIO, because in one day we start the day  sunny, a windy air, and a suddenly snow coming after 4 hours, to finish with a rainy night. A city which, that keep its origins, its cultural and historic traits,  that offer us a vision how U.S.A. started to be a GREAT COUNTRY.

What  is your final definition of this ENGLISH TEACHER TEAM?
Difficult question, easy answer: A BIG TEAM OF ENGLISH TEACHERS WITH THE COMPROMISE TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES AS A TEACHERS, WITH THE WISHES TO COME BACK SOON TO EACH OF THEIR COUNTRIES, COMMUNITY, SCHOOL  AND FAMILIES TO SHARE ALL KNOWLEDGE GOTTEN IN THESE 6 WEEKS: THE DEFINITIONS OF FRIENDSHIP, THE VALUE TO BE CITIZEN ABROAD,THE IMPORTANCE TO BE TEACHER, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FAMILIY FOR EACH OF THEM AND FOR THEIR STUDENTS, THE REALITY OF THE EDUCATION IN EACH COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD AND MORE IN OUR OWN CONTEXT, THE REAL VIEW OF DIFFERENT CULTURES ABROAD, THE IMPORTANCE TO BE RESPECTFUL, THE SENSE TO APPRECIATE DELICIOUS FOOD, THAT, THERE ARE IN MANY COUNTRIES, AND, IN U.S.A. THE MPORTANCE TO PROMOTE GENDER UNITY AND EQUITY IN OUR OWN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY, THE CONSIDERATION ABOUT THE LGBT SOCIETY, THAT TO EXPLODE THE CRITICAL THINKING IN OUR STUDENTS IS URGENT , THAT TECHNOLOGY IS NOT THE ONLY TOOL TO TEACH, BUT,NOWADAYS, IT IS NECCESARY TO BE INCLUDED.THAT WE MUST ENCOURAGE TO OUR STUDENTS READING AND WRITING SKILLS IN THE BEST FRENDLY AND EFFECTIVE WAY. WE ARE TEACHERS, AND , WE NEED ACTION RESEARCH TO GET ANSWERS TO MANY TOPICS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CLASSROOM , HIGHSCHOOLS,AND COMMUNITY.
My final words:
WE ARE TEACHERS WITH THE COMPROMISE TO BE LEADERS IN OUR COUNTRIES TO PROMOTE CHANGES.
