My personal foreign country

Between 2003 and 2006 I entered a foreign country. I didn’t want to be there. I was held against my will.

It began when I was made redundant from my teaching job of ten years. I got a part-time job in a very tough school which I enjoyed, but the contract was for a year so I started supply teaching. It was a good nursery school with a very experienced nursery nurse, but just before I began I started to get nervous in an irrational way. Although the teaching was going well, I could not settle.
