The Road to Nowhere Ellie Murphy

At that moment, when unsupervised, female, Emirate students are bored and the only adults left in the entire high school are just five western teachers, those free girls run the agenda; they find the wheeled chairs and race down the hallway, they break into other classrooms, and pound down windows. These are the times when Ellie Murphy wonders if she did the right thing: leaving the familiar territory of the American classroom behind with the feeling that she was not in the right place, that there was something she needed to do. But what is it exactly that she needs to do? What are the lessons she is to learn? Are these new struggles in the classroom worth it? Ellie realizes that this journey enables her to heal from old emotional wounds, understand the true meaning of ultimate loneliness, enable her to find that silly part of her that was missing for years, and through all the frustrations of living in the hostile culture of the United Arab Emirates. Through the ups and downs of teaching Emirate girls who have no desire or need to learn, she experiences adventures she never would have if she had stayed at home, and she meets students who enrich her life in ways that would have been impossible in the American classroom. This book is an odyssey of experiences and some flashbacks that teaches us never to take life for granted. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Road to Nowhere (Ellie Murphy)
