Cultural Sensitivity

This week has been amazing, yet challenging. It’s hard to watch the people sell fruits and vegetables on the streets, with no guarantees that they’ll make any money. Or the old lady who searches through the garbage heap everyday, looking for another chance. I helped her out today. May have helped her keep going for a week or two. Although I didn’t understand what she said to me, I saw the gratitude in her face. My students were amazing. I looked into their eyes and saw the desire to learn. Some were nervous, others anxious or excited. But the best part was the rush of adrenaline I felt when I was in front of the classroom. I can’t wait to handle my own class. Words can’t express how thankful I am for this opportunity. It’s difficult to fathom how lucky we are for being able to eat with the officials and the Vice Governor. I couldn’t ask for more.
