Me with Mr. Ma (the dean of the English department) at the Christmas party.
Me with some of my first-year students after the Christmas program. These girls were in a skit that we've been working on for a few weeks. They've been coming to my apartment to practice, so I was very excited to see them perform it in front of everyone.
Girls' dorm. The students live in dorms with six students per room. They have bunkbeds, desks and lockers in which to keep their personal items. Also, each room has a small porch with sinks and a bathroom on it. Students do not have showers in their dorms, but rather go to a shower building on campus where they pay 3 yuan to shower. Students to most of their laundry by hand and then hang it on the porch.

About Me
-
- Name: Michelle Ross
- Location: Chengxian, Gansu, CN
In America, I teach 8th grade English and reading and really enjoy spending time with middle school students. Some people think I am crazy for it, but Marsing has a great group of kids and I love being a part of their lives as they grow up! Right now I live in China and teach English and teaching methods to students who want to be teachers. I am here through Peace Corps, which I think is a fabulous experience and something that more people should look into doing! The application process can be a bit of a pain, but it is well worth the time and effort. Check out Peace Corps and give something back to the world that has given you so much!! Teaching runs in the family, as just about everyone is involved in education in one way or another. My dad is retired, but he was a teacher, counselor and principal for 30+ years, my mom is an elementary counselor, my sister and husband are both teachers and my brother will finish his teaching degree this next spring! "Those who can, do; those who can do magic, teach!"
