Temporary TCKid Home

@ Hi Teresa! I thought your name sounded familiar. I think I left a comment under one of your posts in the old TCKid.com. I don’t know if you ever got to read it but I’m also a graduated engineer (bachelor’s only though) from UofI 🙂 I actually just left a message yesterday in your post about entry-level technical job in regards to having a TCK…[Read more]

@ John! Welcome to My.TCKID!! Yes, it was very cool to meet your sister back in November. I hadn’t realized she had taken up such a fantastic profession. 🙂

@ That’s ok. Korea, eh? I have a friend teaching there…

@ LOL! Seriously. I gave the cats a bath last night and I have the bruises and a fat lip to prove it. THen I went to dentist this morning to have 2 teeth pulled. What’s that American saying about “paybacks”??? LOL

Not a good week. Couple days it’ll be all better though! And then its off to Mexico soon to have the rest of my dental work. Can’t…[Read more]

@ LOL@ your status update XD

@ Hey that is awesome. I was born in New Mexico but grew up in Germany, Austria, the UK and Oregon. 🙂 sorry it took me so long to reply I am in Korea and don’t really ever check my email.

@ thanks 😀

@ Hi Andre, saw your entry on The Office discussion board.

Not an answer to your q, but I feel a lot of sympathy for what you are feeling now, since I too majored in Politics. Whole lot of international organizations usually want interns for undergraduates, and actually hire someone with MA, PhD degree and/or years of experience in the field. Boy…[Read more]

@ Ok, how about now?

@ Dear Ms Watanabe,

My parents led the Liebenzell Mission student dormitory in Nakanoshima until 1993. They would probably know your American friend. There was a lot of contact between the different Christian missionaries. The dorm was very close to the Nakanoshima railway station (Nambu sen), but it got closed recently.

@ I love your blog. I share the same love for Jesus-Christ as you do. Where is home when you come to the US? Are you related to Dave Pollock???? I lived in Thailand for 24 years, would love to visit China sometimes, love nature as you do. Now I live in Upstate NY near Houghton …..

@ Hi, Simon. You have an interesting background. My American friend was a missionary in Kawasaki. I believe her cousin and his wife is still serving for a church in Kawasaki.

@ No British Dramas, Perhaps you could try doing a search online and watching them over the internet. Not ideal but could be possible.
Hope you find something.
Paul

@ Hi Paul,

Thanks for the welcome.

@ Hi Monica,
Thank you for getting back to me! No worries about the late response! Wow, you live so close. Did you know that Ruth (the author of the TCK book) also graduated from Wheaton? 😉

It’s so good to meet you.
I am still finishing up my studies at the U of I. Graduating this May, though. Phew! Coming so soon.

How were your holidays? Did…[Read more]

@ Hi Miyon! Sorry I haven’t written you back in 2 months! It’s the first time I really logged on to TCKid – and I had a comment on my wall 🙂 I am a grad student at Wheaton College for Clinical Psych. What are you doing at U of I?? Hope you had a good start to the year! Blessings!

@ Hi Jelena, thanks for sharing a little about yourself on this site. I grew up in West Africa, Nigeria until I was 14 and know something of the feelings of not fitting in whichever country you live in. Being white I stood out a mile in Nigeria but I suppose to some extent you get used to being different. Coming to England I often got racist…[Read more]

@ Hi Kiki and welcome to TCKID. Don’t worry, lots of us TCKS struggle with our identity. I am sure if you read through some of the blog entries etc you will find stories you can relate to.
