My Friend Takes A Slow Boat to China
This is my friend Angie.
Angie has accepted a faculty position at the Shanghi American School in Pudon is moving to China. Angie’s oddessy is scheduled for a two year span. She plans to write about it on her website Angie’s Shanghi Adventure.
What does this have to do with temperaments and behavior?
Angie’s observable temperament is a balanced blend of a moderate need for control, a slightly greater need to express affection than to recieve it and a need to be a participant in inclusion without the drive to be the constant center of attention. In other words, she is the consumate teacher. I have worked with her often and she has an underlying dry wit that she uses to extricate herself from uncomfortable situations. And when teaching in diverse populations there are always uncomfortable situations.
It will be interesting to follow the adventures of a modern American in Modern China.
Good Luck Angie!
