Come Monday

So I am a little skeptical to see my new schedule tomorrow. I have ended four of my classes and I don't know what classes I will be taking over. All I have to say though is that at least one of my classes needs to be amazing to make up for the loss of two great classes.

My Level 9 class
The girls, minus a few

The boys minus a few as well + Tran

Example of the awesomeness and the bond I had with my level 9 class (Upper-intermediate)....When class ended I told them they could go and that I hoped to see them again. No one moved. I didn't know if they had heard me so I said again, "You may leave". The response I got from them actually made me stop in my tracks. Some actually said "no". None of them got up. I was in awe! It was the biggest compliment I have ever gotten from a class! I wrote my email down for them and told them they better stay in contact. Once they had that, they seemed satisfied with and they finally began to leave. I have to brag that by the time I got down to the office, every other teacher was gone.

Alex and Tracy. Alex was one of the students who said no

Tracy, Christine and Kate

Jessica, Jenny 2, Jenny 1 and Tina

Chris (the class clown), Tom (who always talked about relationships), Sunny, Alex

Please pr*y with me that I can get a class that is half as awesome as theirs because it will be a tough few weeks if I don't. This class seriously sustained me. Whenever I had a frustrating first shift, I knew everything would be ok because I ended my night with them. Needless to say, next week is going to be an interesting week.

All of the students made me happy but this little group definitely made the smile slightly bigger
Tran, Mike, Tom and Andy

  1. Will you get new classes every 4 weeks for the the rest of the year?

  2. I'm sure you will love your next group just as much. It might take time but you'll adjust I'm sure. How special that you students loved you so much! That is wonderful to hear. Love you and miss you.
