I enjoyed doing things with my students. Their non- condescending mind-set gave me a break from prejudice and unfair judgment from the cruel world. My students gave me a new sense of confidence in what I do. And I loved to hear their laughter – so unpretentious.
But there were also times that I become impatient of my students. Their non-committal attitude made me envious. Their playfulness and prolific attitude towards things made me jealous. And I wished I was like them – so carefree.
My students enjoyed a lot of out of the classroom activities that I introduced to them. I taught Social Studies and I know that this subject is boring if we will stick to the textbook. I hate Social Studies when I was a student. I fell asleep during the class because the teacher just discussed about the war, the dates, and the people I don’t know.
One of the things I hate about traveling is the packing aspect. I hate packing. I get stressed out when I am packing. I don’t have the talent in packing.
