Asian School

Ok, so it was a little misleading to say that I finally had a job. Technically, I have had jobs before, but this is the first job I've gotten that can actually pay rent and that I can conceivably keep for a while.

I came here wanting to teach lower income children and adults going overseas. Remembering my teenage years a little too well, I was reluctant to take on high schoolers because let's face it, who wants to learn anything in school when you are between the ages of 13-18? You just want to get out of there as quickly as possible and get people to stop telling you what to do. I really wanted to teach little kids; I mean, they're enthusiastic, they keep you on your toes, they love games, and they are just adorable!

So who did I end up teaching? 13-16 year olds. High schoolers who are too loud or too quiet, who look at me, not out of understanding, but more out of a "what the hell?" kinda feeling. But, I'm still really excited about it. I think I actually got some attention, though. They looked up from their not-so-concealed comic books, doodles, magazines, etc.

Tomorrow, i get to teach my first drama class! Yea!
