Did teaching in South Korea influence your academic or career interests at all?

Prior to teaching in South Korea I was not sure I wanted to teach at all. I had done a few things here and there, such as volunteer to teach swimming and doing a bit of homework help but I had never been in a classroom as a formal instructor. After a year abroad, I know that teaching is something that I have to do. It comes in different waves, different modes, and different capacities. I can have a class, I can have a summer series, I can motivationally speak, I can influence people I see and talk to on a daily basis, but I must spread a message that is important to hear. South Korea taught me that. I will forever be and identify as a teacher because of this experience.
