So glad to have found you the other day! I was about to DM you on IG but figured I should comment here first to show support and build rapport before sliding into the DMs.😹 This video came at just the right time! I graduate next year spring with my BA and want to work at a Hagwon. I’m also trying to plan my apartment lease to end at the perfect time in order to move there. Wasn’t sure if I should end it in July or August. I see you said you moved in July, was that because of summer camp? When does the actual school semester start in the fall? I want to ask the school to let me get settled in for a bit with my cat instead of jumping right into things. I refuse to go to work the very next day after landing. That’s just crazy! I’ll be 35 going in 36 then so I need a little bit of time to adjust. Especially with jet lag!😅 I don’t think I heard you talk about the flight reimbursement. I’ve heard schools wait a year to give you your flight money, that they no longer pay you in advanced. What’s the tea about that?<br>Did you hide your septum while on the clock or kept it out? I have one too.<br>If you don’t get your ARC and bank card until a couple months, how are you able to pay bills, grocery shop, order things online and such? Credit cards? I heard you say you can order takeout after you get your ARC, so that means one has to go to the actual store/restaurant to buy it in person? What about Coupang? I always hear people say they buy groceries or order takeout from there. So I can’t do that until I get the ARC? As you can tell, I’m trying to not starve when I land.😹 Also want to make sure I’m able to buy my cat‘s food + necessities. <br>I’m Puerto Rican by the way, so it feels relatable AF watching your content and hearing your experiences as a fellow Afro-Latina and Caribbean person! ❤️🔥 Thanks so much in advanced!! 🤗

I just want to say thank you. I've been reading through your comment section, and the way you take time to respond to everyone is honestly superhero-level. It’s rare to see someone so generous with their knowledge and energy — it really doesn’t go unnoticed. You’re making a bigger impact than you know!
