Yesterday was a day I really enjoyed. Even though I was walking through the snow to get to my sponsor, I liked being alone and getting a chance to think about what my Sponsor had for me today. As I reached the Middle School, passed memories ran through my head about the times I had in the Middle school. So many things had changed and I love the fact that some of my past teachers remembered me. I never thought they would even recognized me. I guess my appearance was not much of a difference since 7th grade. I felt so welcomed and I felt happy as soon as I reached Ms. Carney's class. The students were already doing there work and concentrating on what they were doing. My students as well as Ms. Carney's were adorable and they had so much energy in their eyes. Although some were confused on some things, they soon understood the task at hand. I sat with some of the students to see what they were up to and some were working on power points. Others were working on worksheets. I accomplished some trust from a few of them. As I came up to some of them, they would explain to me what they had to fix in their power points without me even asking. I met Roberto, Javier, and Raul who are students in Ms. Carney's class. They were funny and I liked that they were comfortable talking to me and asking me questions.
As Yocelin started presenting her power point, I remembered how I felt when I had to do presentations in my early years. Although I did not present often or have the opportunity to present with smart boards, it was still difficult for me to speak publicly. Yocelin had a clear voice and was pretty creative with some of her slides. I think for being in 5th grade she did very well. So far I'm learning allot and I love my Field Trip's to the Middle school.
I have the feeling that you learned something from the students during your visit, especiall Yocelin. Students inspire me all the time, and this is what makes me stronger. It is an ignorant teacher who never learns from his students.
