I also started my Fulbright for Teachers in Global Classrooms. Although it is another thing I am adding onto my work schedule-I have actually enjoyed going back into school mode. I give major kudos to those who work full time, have a family, and trying to do school. It is definitely a challenge and I don't have a family. But I actually have learned a lot in the past two weeks and it has opened my eyes to a variety of changes I would like to make. In a way it has given me a vision to what I could do. Although the class I wanted to work with has also driven me to disappointment. Empathy is still the biggest challenge I want my students to understand first, because trying to care for others when they prove time and time again that they are only considering themselves. Give it time they say. I will get to them at some point.
My work life has been steady and my issues have gone to complete ignoring which I am okay with. I do need to work on visiting my intern teacher and hope to support her in ways I can. That hasn't been my strong suit as I have been concerned more about the school as a whole. Personal life is pretty boring, no new exciting news but just the daily influences that brings a smile to my face. Even though it is little things, they are enough to bring me joy. I can't complain where I am at in my life because I am in this phase in my life for a reason. I just wish I knew the reason already.
Fun fact, I get to visit my sister at SFSU on Monday. It will be awesome because I get to observe her class that she is currently teaching. Even though she is my younger sister, she is also my best friend and I would be lost with her in my life. I also can't wait to her someone call her professor. Another 10 more weeks and we will reach winter break.
