First week at school has been a really big success. The teachers at the Senior School are all really helpful and very willing to do what they can. On Wednesday, my computer cord had fried and I had no access to my financial aid (which is all my money!). I felt defeated and like everything that could go wrong, was going wrong. It was a very helpless feeling. But, I told my collaborating teacher, and others at the school about my situation and everyone had wonderful advice to give. Apparently, when you first live out here, nothing is very easy but with time you can gradually figure everything out. Needless to say, my computer cord is fixed and now I have a spare with a Ugandan plug.
My students are the sweetest. I'm really enjoying having 6th and 7th graders. There are several of my students that are very limited on English but I'm working with them to try to build up their confidence. There is this adorable French boy who is very limited in English. We were having a class discussion about different organs, and I walked up to him quietly and asked him if he could name an organ. He could and he gave me one that had not already been said so I raised his hand in the air so he could also participate in the class discussion. My goodness, the look of pride and joy on his face made it worth it.
So... I guess I could review previous stuff that has happened.
1. Visited the equator.
and 2. Saw a leopard
Those have the biggest adventures so far but trust me.... there will be more.
