I am struggling coming up with new blog posts. I’m not sure if that means that I am getting
lazy, or accustomed to my new life. Let’s
go with the latter.
Simply, things are really great. Two years ago, I would have NEVER guessed that
I would graduate, and land a job working with youth (especially hormonal
teenagers).. Lets be real. I've never
really been supportive, or a shoulder to cry on. I usually don’t say the right thing, and I
get highly uncomfortable with most things dealing with any type of emotions…
But I really do love this! It’s a challenge,
and I’m muttering my way through, but I have really made some connections with
both the Masinyusane kids, and the Life Teen Kids. Sigh of relief.
Since I had not even the slightest clue how to teach, I have
been frantically googleing ideas. Here
is my favorite one that we have completed so far.
So here was the example. I made copies of the students thumbprints, and enlarged them. We spent three days preparing "about me" narrative to fill in the ridges. They traced the print onto a blank page, and then published their narrative.
The result was far less artistic that I anticipated, but no less heartfelt. I know this is hard to read, but I even made an appearance in this learners! :) The bottom is very touching as well.
This is the good life.
