A Brief Glimpse...

de mi loco estudiantes:



"Thinking back two years ago I remember how tough of a period this last stretch can be. Feelings of homesickness were coupled with a lingering doubt that I was failing these kids at school. There isn't a quick fix to this problem but I promise you that THINGS WILL GET BETTER! When put in an unnatural setting it is hard to step back and take stock of your accomplishments, because the day to day living is enough of a challenge on its own. But the reality is you are molding 30-40 young minds that otherwise would not have this opportunity. You are playing a crucial role in laying the groundwork for these kids to potentially achieve goals that their parents' generation would have deemed impossible. Hang in there and know we are al thinking about you. One final thought....it will all be worth it when you get off the bus on your first day back from Christmas break and your entire class engulfs you in a monstrous group hug. There isn't a better feeling in the world." - John Monley
