well today was a very successful day of teaching. I think it may 

have had to do with my attitude. I was thinking about it and I 

decided, this is like a calling. This wasn't just something I wanted 

to do but God directed me here. So if it is a calling, then I need 

to give it my all and just do my best. I'm not sure I can explain 

how it changed my outlook really, but it did change it sooo much. 

Another thing that may have helped was knowing it was the weekend! I 

was so excited! In my head, I said, "I just have to do teaching for 

25 minutes and 5 classes. Entertain if nothing else. Then, we have 

the weekend!" Those two things combined and then, it was my best 

teaching so far. The kids did really well and liked the activity. I 

used up all the time and used the 'Chinese chair' which is the chair 

we put kids in if they speak Chinese during our lessons. I could 

probably use it more but I used it rather well today. 

This is a picture of my first head teacher assessment. Which was 

really thursday's lesson. This helped also because I did much better 

than I expected. 

Teaching here is an acquired taste. ;) something that hasn't come 

easy but hopefully as we keep going, it will be easier and also more 

enjoyable. Ashley Mitchell says it will and the kids will make it 

worth it. I sure hope so!!!!
