Returning home hopefully

10 years ago

So im currently living in the U.S and looking towards moving home possibly by end of the year. I am a single mother married but not if you understand that my 2 children and I are possibly going home in june however its more my home than theirs ...does anyone have any advice on the culture shock with children? Another thing my father was murdered last year so I went home and went again this year, i have friends there and some family support however our family business is struggling since his departure and im needed there.I dont have a degree I am 30 credits away howerever not enrolled. In jamaica its close to impossible to get a job without one, I am a citizen so im interested to know if I can get a job as an american on the island? Or is it better to go for the TRN ?Any recommendation on schools for american children?is that available? Is there an expat community there I can become apart of?
