The First Day of School!!!
Monday, September 15th, 2008 | Uncategorized
Today I had my first day of school as an English Conversation teacher for Preparatory Grade level kids (they’re around 5 years old). My first duty was to comfort a 4 year old who didn’t want to be at school and was crying. It was nice to hold a child and get in touch with my maternal instincts.
I’ve decided that every single one of our students is cute!! They are so special and I’m so excited to be teaching them. Some of them speak English very well and some are very shy about speaking at all, but of course it’s only the first day! It was a bit unorganized and chaotic today, but I’m still really excited to be there! I love teaching and I love kids, especially these ones!!!

aww I’m glad you’re in a great place- children can bring a lot of joy in life! they must be adorable and Ruth I know you’re the perfect teacher for them! btw did you know I also had another friend who’s been staying in africa as well. I’ll have to find out if you’re near one another! I love watching you thrive in this new place- it seems as though God’s been changing a lot of things for a lot of people this year. Watching you roll with the punches has been helping me out a ton too! keep up the good work- will keep you in my prayers!
love
