Velence Hungary
Well, my first week of observing is over and I only have one more day to prepare standing in front of my classroom full of eager and ready to learn students! Since I have been here I have learned of soooo many opportunities. There are so many people that want to learn the language and be able to use it in the future. Most of you know that when I set out on this journey that I would only be teaching to 1st Graders! When I was bored to death (only had 1 class a day) I volunteered to go the middle school to see the students! They too, would be excited to meet me and ask questions about America (I was told!) Who would have known that my volunteer exercise would put something else on my heart to do while i am here. As I went to each grade and watched each one of their classes, I realized that the 8th graders only knew simple things. The 1st graders had even passed them on their English skills. There can be many reasons to why this has happened. The biggest reason is that they have not had an English teacher in this school. Unfortunately, from what I was told...for these students, this would be their last year attending school if they did not improve. Well being the person that I am, I did not even think it through before I stood in front of the class and told them that if they wanted me too, if they would REALLY try, then I would come and teach them in the afternoons. Oh my gosh, you should see the faces on these children when you tell them that you will give them time to teach them and make them more successful. Bliss.
