Day 16: Forever Grateful

30 thai students, 3 observers, 1 teacher. me. Nerve-racking as all get-out, but overall what a fantastic experience! I was placed in an outdoor classroom with a magnificent view of a overly large pond surrounded by flowers and cattle. The peaceful scenery helped to calm my nerves as I trudge through my lesson plan. Not bad for a first-timer. I do have to admit, the amount of lesson planning put into just an hour of teaching is TREMENDOUS. But as many already know, hard work reaps great reward. 5+ hours I have spent for tomorrows lesson and I am stoked for the outcome. It does take some sane brains to endure the time-consumingness of it all, therefore, for any teacher who I have ever known, will ever know, or will never get the privilege to meet; hats off to you. high-five. two thumbs up. I admire everything you do for the sake of passing your knowledge onto the deserving and helping to better this world, whether it be English, Spanish, Math, Science, Horse-back Therapy, Fitness Instructors, and the list goes on and on and on, because the truth is there is always something to be learnt and, fact: there is always going to be someone to teach it, whatever it may be. I am forever grateful for those who have taught me, you know who you are, and you know that you have helped me to become the person I am today. Thank you.
