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.

 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.
