I have been holding my breath and freaking out over teaching my first class. Now as I sit here in the glare of the monitor after the fact, I feel like I can breath again. Lesson plan? I have no idea what that is! English? I barely speak it! I LOVED IT. My class had five kids in it and even some of their parents who watched. I blew through my lesson plan in twenty minutes and then had to wing it. By golly, those kids were counting to six in English after my hour with them. I talked about procrastination, and when I am faced with a challenge, not always but usually, I just quit. Patrick pushed me out of my comfort zone and I am exhilarated and looking forward to teaching more. And I am grateful. If I could only remember these kids' names. On a lighter note, Miyo lost yet another tooth. Now she says "toof".
How exciting to lose teeth as a child, yet it is terrifying to think of it as an adult and it gives me nightmares.
