My Teacher Life

I finally have lots of students, so I'm busier, my cat likes me, I get to have a nice work-free Friday night....life is good! (Mostly, at least)

Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me why I am a teacher. I woke up grumpy and didn't want to go work. But I didn't have even a shred of an excuse not to, so off I went anyway. My first students were a couple of extremely cute kids who were quite excited about learning to read. Then I went to a new family where I gave my first English lessons to four kids and their mom who alternately participated to try to learn along or herded her kids around to keep them paying attention. I have never, never seen people so excited to learn English. Or to learn anything, for that matter.

In the end, it was quite energizing, and I had a lot of fun, though I was pretty wiped out by the end of the day.
